In the NBA regular season, the Raptors played at home to the Pacers. In the second quarter of the game, an accident suddenly occurred on the scene. After hugging each other, the players on both sides walked directly to the players' tunnel and returned to the dressing room. At this time, the firefighters at the scene organized the fans to evacuate and leave the scene. According to reports, it was a stereo on the scene that caught fire.
The content of this game was lackluster. The Raptors, who are fighting for better positioning, faced the Pacers who have already been put in the early swing, and took a 20-point lead in the first quarter of the game 41-21. In the second quarter, the Raptors continued to expand their advantage. With 4:05 left in the second quarter, the Raptors were already leading by as many as 28 points at 66-38. However, at this time, the field suddenly stopped.
Judging from the footage of the scene, a huge stereo was already on fire and was still burning. In fact, with about 7 minutes left in the second quarter, the on-site staff had already discovered the problem and evacuated some of the fans. However, in the event that it is impossible to extinguish for a short time, the game can only be interrupted. According to reports, it was the circuit problem that triggered the fire.
However, it seems that the audience is not flustered, and even some people take pictures of the firefighters, which seems very calm. Indeed, there is no suspense in this game, and even if it is rematched, there should be no waves. Instead, it was the fans who witnessed the strange battle of the NBA.
In NBA history, ongoing games have been abruptly interrupted, and games that have ended up being postponed are rare. In March 2020, when the global pandemic came, some games in the NBA were postponed and canceled. And this game will probably be restarted.
