In the third quarter, a spectator ran onto the court during play and attempted to touch one of the backboards before he was tackled by a Capital One Arena special police officer.
Monumental Sports and Entertainment said in a statement that the fan will be banned from the arena and charges will be pursued with D.C. police.
During Game 2, a fan at Wells Fargo Center dumped popcorn on Westbrook’s head as he headed to the locker room. In New York’s Madison Square Garden, a fan spit on Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young, and in Boston a fan threw a bottle that nearly hit Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving.
