A bizarre scene unfolded during an NBA Playoff game on Saturday night.
In the second half of the Grizzlies vs. Timberwolves game, a female fan hopped courtside seats and began storming the court.
A security guard acted quickly and tackled the individual on the court with players nearby. Refs called a pause in play, as a result.
A few more arena officials quickly made their way onto the court. They eventually dragged the woman off.
“A fan was removed after storming the court in Timberwolves-Grizzlies again,” Bleacher Report tweeted.

“They have to start prosecuting these people. Only a matter of time before someone hit them. Then the athlete gets sued,” said Draymond Green.

“The Wolves-Grizzlies game get another fan interruption in Game 4. This is the 3rd instance dating back to the Play-In that a Wolves game had to be stopped,” Clutch Points said.

This is getting ridiculous. It’s extremely fortunate no one got hurt.
