Released behind the Celtics bench! Some people saw some people leave very quickly after the substance was released!

Game was delayed for nine minutes

Associated Press

BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics suddenly evacuated their bench between periods of their game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night when an unknown substance made it difficult for them to breathe.

The game was delayed for nine minutes.

"Everybody started coughing," center Mark Blount said. "I felt like I was going to throw up, man."

Boston had a 60-50 lead after three quarters when the Celtics players and staff suddenly got up and walked across the floor. Fans in the sections behind the bench were breathing through their shirts and jackets.

There was no odor. Police and security checked the area about three rows behind the bench, but didn't appear to find anything.

Security officials would not comment.

"It didn't smell. I just couldn't breathe," forward Mark Bryant said.

The game resumed at 10:03 p.m., with an announcement over the public address system: ``Fans, officials ask that you please refrain from throwing things at the floor.''

I watched a few minutes of this game in the first quarter. All I saw released was a lot of bad shots and air balls.

I turned to ESPN as they were finishing up and John Saunders told their female announcer to evacuate the building now which was after everything was over.

This is weird!

Holy cow. I have lots of jokes that I'm no going to proffer.

I need some evidence that this really happened though.

Any witnesses or links?

That is weird! They almost never evacuate the building after everything is over. ;)
