A woman tried to run onto the court in a display of protest during Saturday night’s playoff game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Memphis Grizzlies, but security had her well sniffed-out.
Early in the third quarter of Game 4, a woman sitting in the second row near the Timberwolves bench got ready to hop onto the court. A security guard was seated just a few seats away and was all over the woman. The guard tackled her immediately, and was quickly joined by a few other guards. The woman was then carried away.
Security also tried to ensure a second protester didn’t run onto the floor.

Security was well-primed for such a protest. That’s because this has become an ongoing occurence at Timberwolves games lately.
During the play-in game between the Clippers and Timberwolves, a woman tried to glue herself to the floor. Then in Game 1 of the series, there was another protest. The women are animal activists protesting some of the actions at an egg farm owned by Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor.
