The Los Angeles Lakers will square off against the San Antonio Spurs at the AT&T Center this evening and the team's young stars had a run-in with some of the less publicized residents of the arena on Wednesday night.
As you can see from the video clip below, D'Angelo Russell and Julius Randle were spooked by bats flying through the arena while they were getting some shots up.

“We got bats on the floor. You see my main man [Julius Randle] is getting his work in, and we got bats on the floor,” Russell said, according to Ben Rohrbach of Yahoo! Sports.
And sure enough, there were bats on the floor. “See the bats,” he added. “Yo, where’s Ginobili when you need him. Yo, we got bats. Oh, my God.”
Unfortunately, Manu didn't answer the call for the Lakers youngsters.
