Protester stops Clippers Timberwolves trying to glue themselves to the ground

The NBA play-in game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Los Angeles Clippers was briefly suspended after a protester attempted to tape herself to the ground.

The NBA playoffs have it all: the superstars, the drama, the intensity, the protesters glued to the ground.

Yes, the last one is a thing that actually happened. And you thought the NBA Play-In tournament was a waste of time.

On Tuesday night, as the Western Conference Nos. 7 and 8 Minnesota Timberwolves and the Los Angeles Clippers, the visiting Clippers went about their business shooting free throws. However, at the opposite end of the floor, a scene was created in which a woman could be seen on the floor and then quickly walked away.

Clippers-Timberwolves stopped by a protester who taped herself to the ground

As it turned out and explained on the show, the woman on the floor had taped her wrists to the floor in protest. She then resisted as security forces attempted to remove them before eventually lifting them off the ground.

There’s no word on what she was protesting by gluing her hands/wrists to the hardwood, but she was clearly passionate about taking such drastic action.

As for the actual basketball game, which resumed after arena staff cleaned up the floor, Minnesota withstood a run from LA in the first quarter to roll back and lead into halftime.

The winner of the play-in game receives 7th place and a date with the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the Western Conference Playoffs.
