MINNEAPOLIS – A girl had to be escorted off the ground at Target Center during the Minnesota Timberwolves’ play-in game Tuesday evening after apparently attempting to glue herself to the baseline beneath a basket.
The incident occurred during the second quarter, because the Timberwolves have been attempting to get well from a gradual begin. The Timberwolves want to beat the Clippers to earn the No. 7 seed within the Western Conference Playoffs, in any other case they’ll face both the Spurs or Pelicans Friday evening with their season on the road.
With about 3:34 left within the first half, a feminine protester went on the ground and glued her hand to the court. The girl, a protester indentified in a information launch as Alicia Santurio, was sporting a shirt that stated, “Glen Taylor roasts animals alive.” She was protesting the mass killing of chickens at Rembrandt Enterprises, a factroy egg farm in Iowa owned by Taylor.
The girl was rapidly escorted off the ground by no less than two law enforcement officials. The game had to be stopped for a couple of minutes as Target Center workers labored to clear up the mess.
The Timberwolves launched an announcement concerning the incident during the second half of Tuesday’s game.
The incident led to loads of “glue” jokes on social media.
