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

    Play suspended. NBATV just broke into the news.

    No more info released.

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

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

    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.
