NBA Fans turned an already wild Lakers–Pelicans matchup into an even bigger talking point after rookie Jeremiah Fears got tangled up with Luka Doncic on a hard foul that stopped the game for a moment.
The clip spread fast when @BleacherReport posted, “Luka and Jeremiah Fears HEATED after hard foul [shocked emoji] They both got techs for this,” and the replies exploded.

With so many eyes already on the game because of the Lakers’ streak, the moment instantly became the night’s most debated play.
One of the early replies that stood out came from @nelly_covers, who said, “Fears has no fear.”
It echoed the reaction of NBA Fans who thought the rookie showed confidence, even if the foul sparked a long stare-down.
Another user, @199621147Daniel, didn’t hold back, posting, “aint nobody scared of a dude who play no defense.”
That pushed the thread into the usual mix of jokes and instant scouting reports that NBA Fans love to throw around when a young player steps into the spotlight.
What made this moment louder was the timing. NBA Fans were already active because the game had the feel of a high-energy matchup, and the foul added fuel to a thread that was moving fast. Some said the contact was strong but fair, while others thought Luka reacted too much. Still, everyone agreed the clip was going to dominate timelines for the rest of the night.
By the end of the game, the chatter around Fears showed how quickly one play can shape how NBA Fans judge a rookie. The dust settled on the floor, but the posts kept climbing. The foul wasn’t just a physical moment. It showed how attention can grow in seconds when a young player challenges a star.
NBA Fans In Awe After Lakers Beat The Pelicans To Reach Seven Streak
NBA Fans moved straight from the Luka–Fears clash into talking about the result itself once the Lakers finished off the Pelicans 133–121 to secure their seventh straight win. Since the heated moment happened in the same game, the reaction carried over smoothly as people shifted from the foul to the bigger picture.
The official @Lakers account posted the final score with the caption, “Seven in a row for the Lake Show,” and NBA Fans turned the replies into a party.

One of the top comments came from @vikas_poon98990, who wrote, “Hang the ‘7 Game Win Streak in December’ banner right next to the In-Season Tournament one [triangular flag emoji][trophy emoji][angry face emoji].”
The joke spread quickly because the Lakers are known for turning small wins into long discussions.
Another fan, @skzwrld_, shared a meme of Squidward and SpongeBob wearing Lakers hats with the caption, “another????” followed by, “What’s that? Is that another win?”
NBA Fans pushed it across the thread, saying it matched the team’s sudden midseason momentum.
The streak gave supporters something to hang on to. NBA Fans pointed out how the Lakers cleaned up mistakes, settled into better lineups, and finally looked like a group that understood its roles. The win wasn’t only about shooting well. It showed a team putting together consistent nights, and NBA Fans believe the run might stretch longer if the rhythm continues.
