LA sure knows how to party after a basketball game.

Police have made 4 arrests so far as the Lakers' Game 7 victory has sparked rowdy celebration across Los Angeles. Authorities say all the arrests were for public intoxication.

Although police presence around the NBA Finals at the Staples Center was boosted for Thursday's Game 7, rowdy fans still created problems for law enforcement. Some attempted to block cars trying to leave the arena and random fights and bonfires broke out nearby.

The arena isn't the only place police are flooding. Thursday night, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deployed hundreds of deputies to East Los Angeles near Whittier Boulevard, which was closed to vehicle traffic between Easter and Garfield avenues for the duration of Game 7.

If they lost.

J/k, I know all major cities do that when their team wins a championship.

As a huge sports fan, I have never understood this.

I am so psyched the team representing my city won a championship, I am going to go out, destroy my city, and possibly get arrested!

Nothing celebrates a championship quite like flipping a police car and setting a couch on fire on the sidewalk.

Rioting after sports though, that's quaint. It's an endearing quality apparently.
