LOS ANGELES (AP)

"(AP) -- Los Angeles police say eight officers have suffered minor injuries during downtown disturbances that erupted amid street celebrations of the Lakers' NBA championship victory over the Orlando Magic.

Officer Gregory Baek says the officers were taken to hospitals for treatment of the injuries sustained during melees Sunday night in the Staples Center area.

What began as a lively but peaceful celebration took on a different tone for those remaining a few hours after the game. Some in the crowd vandalized a shoe store, buses and police cars, set small fires and threw rocks and bottles at police.

Police say 18 people were arrested for disturbing the peace, arson and other infractions. Three of those arrested were juveniles."

Now, see, this wouldn't have happened if the Magic had won...

You're right, this is how you celebrate a win (and it wasn't even the final!)

Damn Arpig! That's some serious looting, steal the goods and then try to sell it on the street right afterwards.
