In attendance for the Clippers win over the Spurs on Sunday was new owner Steve Ballmer. The flamboyant owner was sitting behind one of the baskets cheering on his team in the only way he knows how, via Vine:
Along with his head nearing exploding behind the basket, Ballmer chose to turn the Lakers’ locker room in an owner’s lounge, according to Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times:
Steve Ballmer has turned the Lakers' locker room into an "owner's lounge."

With the majority of Lakers fans not all that fond of the Clippers franchise, it’d be safe to say this won’t sit well with the purple and gold faithful.
