Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnesdidn't see the group of protesters making their way to Golden1 Center for a second round of protests Tuesday. He only heard they were coming -- and he was perfectly fine with it. Outside the arena, demonstrators gathered to protest the March 18 fatal police shooting of Stephon Clark, an unarmed 22-year-old black man who was in his grandparents' backyard. Most fans were prevented from entering Golden1 Center and the team later released a statement saying refunds would be given. It was the second time in six days that protesters forced a lockdown at Golden1 Center. Barnes is hopeful the protests stir debate that he believes is long overdue, not just in Sacramento but around the country. "If they were doing this somewhere else in the city, would they still be garnering the same attention?" Barnes asked following the Mavericks' 103-97 win over the Kings. "Would it be at the front of every opposing team that's coming in here? Would it be national news that the Sacramento Kings are locking fans out of their stadium? Why are they locking fans out of the stadium? Oh, because this young man was killed. Then the dialogue keeps going that way. read more http://www.espn.com/nba/recap?gameId=400975859
