Fedex Forum evacuated during game?

[illmatic99]

What's going on? Emergency in Memphis during the game against the Clips; apparently, everyone told to evacuate.

 

[Nikolokolus]

So it took what? 3 minutes to clear the building?

 

[illmatic99]

Play suspended. NBATV just broke into the news.

No more info released.

Update: Burst pipes caused alarms to go off.

We're told low pressure caused the fire alarm at FedExForum to trip. Investigators say there is "no fire danger."

This is bizarre.

Memphis sucks.

 

[KingSpeed]

Grizzlies win! Back from 18 down!

 

[THE HCP]

That arena is actually one of the nicest in the league. Too bad it's such a shitty town and is empty every game!

Broken watermain....Clips were up 12 and were on fire. Then they lose by 2 cause they couldn't hit shit in the 4th.

Timely evacuation

 

[B-Roy]

Yup. The evacuation definitely fired up the fans. All two of them.

 

[THE HCP]

Man, the Clips got HOSED!

 

[DynastYWarrioR6]

Yup. The evacuation definitely fired up the fans. All two of them.

I meant, cooled down the Clips

The visiting Clippers were 12 ahead with a minute left in the 3rd. Everyone evacuated. The game resumed and 5 minutes into the 4th, it was tied. The Clippers got only 12 points in the whole 4th quarter. The game lasted 2 hours 51 minutes. The comments after this article are kind of funny. Sample: The 2 teams are so bad that it took only a minute to evacuate everyone.
