...At some point during the Lakers' 95-86 loss to the Jazz, two Lakers fans were thrown out of the game after a confrontation developed from "trash talking" with a pair of Jazz fans.

Outside of the arena, the ejected fans later found their same adversaries and the argument continued.

"At that point, one of the Lakers fans pulled out a pepper spray fogger and let loose with it," according to the Tribune....

Mike Brown's reaction to a reporter asking him about his son, Elijah, being attacked on Twitter was surprising ...It was surprising because he hadn't heard about it.

"That’s news to me," Brown said after Thursday's practice. "I will alert Lakers security."

Brown's son (@elijah_brown_4 on Twitter) received support by two other family members of Lakers players on Wednesday night -- Steve Blake's wife, Kristen Blake and Metta World Peace's brother, Daniel Artest.

From @kristenblake2: "Leave Mike Brown's son alone. What's wrong with u people?! Stop attacking FAMILIES! How would you feel if YOUR family was treated like that?"

From @TheRealDMArtest: "Leave my homie @elijah_brown_4 alone tho. Says a lot about u attacking a kid online over a damn game"

Elijah summed it up on Twitter by writing: "Coaches fault when they lose but players glory when they win.. I'm not trippin well be straight!"

Brown said he usually has someone monitor his son's activity on Twitter because he doesn't understand the social media platform.

What he does clearly understand is that threats to someone's family should have no part in professional sports.

"That’s the tough part about this business," Brown said. "To go after somebody’s family or something like that is in my opinion is just ridiculous. It’s stupid, it’s crazy, it’s whatever you want to call it. They have nothing to do with what’s going on right now. You think that those people have kids and if they weren’t having success at their work or something like that, would they want somebody saying something or doing something to their kids? I disagree with peoples’ thought process on that if they’re involved in that type of stuff."

Brown also alluded to the incident involving Blake during the playoffs last year (http://espn.go.com/los...).

"People change with the wind at times," Brown said. "That’s just human nature. When things are good, everybody loves you and when things aren’t good, people tend not to love you and they show that in different ways. So, it’s part of life. But in terms of the threats and stuff like that, if there are threats, that’s something that I take serious and we’re going to take serious because it shouldn’t happen. It shouldn’t happen to Steve Blake, it shouldn’t happen to Dwight. It shouldn’t happen to my kids or anything like that. It’s ridiculous."

Brown said he usually has someone monitor his son's activity on Twitter because he doesn't understand the social media platform.
