New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- During the fourth quarter of Game 1 in the NBA Finals, a fan ran onto the court at Frost Bank Center, seemingly attempting to take a selfie with Spurs star Victor Wembanyama and Knicks’ Mitchell Robinson.
- Security quickly removed the fan, play was halted for about a minute, and the referees awarded the Spurs possession at midcourt after the disruption.
- The incident occurred with 6:32 left in the game, a pivotal moment as the Knicks had just taken the lead, and the Spurs missed a key shot following the delay.
- The Knicks maintained momentum and won the game 105-95, while the fan’s court invasion drew boos from the crowd and comparisons to similar incidents in other sports like soccer and the Super Bowl.
- Entering a restricted area at a stadium is a crime in Texas, making the fan’s actions potentially subject to legal consequences.
