It's been a big night for LA Lakers fans.

On Sunday, the team beat the Miami Heat 106-93, taking home their 17th NBA title and tying with the Boston Celtics for most NBA championships.

Following the game, a number of fans took to Downtown LA to celebrate the win, gathering in a crowd which eventually prompted a police response.

Before fans were dispersed, however, several people on Twitter spotted something noteworthy in the footage captured by CBS.

Yep: Someone actually turned up to the celebrations inside a giant plastic bubble.

Footage of the woman, who was wearing an Anthony Davis Jersey and casually looking at her phone while inside the bubble, went viral on Twitter.

In the hours before the game, LA Mayor Eric Garcetti tweeted to discourage fans from gathering together.

"As we get ready to cheer on our Lakers tonight, it’s important to remember COVID-19 is still here," he wrote. "Please keep our community safe by not gathering with others, which spreads the virus."
