Something went down between LeBron James and two Pacers fans sitting courtside during Wednesday night’s overtime game.

After the game, which Los Angeles won 124-116, James declined to share exactly what the fans had done to prompt their removal. In vague terms, he said they crossed a line with obscene gestures and words.
