According to ESPN, during Wednesday night's NBA Finals game, a fan stormed onto the Frostbank Center during the fourth quarter.

The incident occurred in the fourth quarter of the game when the San Antonio Spurs were playing the New York Knicks at home. A fan suddenly rushed onto the court, holding a phone and attempting to take a selfie with Spurs star Victor Wahlbanama , causing a brief interruption to the game.
