Los Angeles Lakers fans are the NBA's biggest complainers when it comes to officiating, according to a new study.

The study by Betonline.ag is based on Twitter data collected in the last month and tracked negative tweets about officiating in relation to each NBA team. Lakers fans complained more than any other fan base, while Portland Trail Blazers supporters complained the least.

The Lakers organization has had its own gripes with officiating this season. Head coach Frank Vogel voiced frustration in November about a lack of free throws for Anthony Davis and said the team contacted the league about it.
