According to The New York Times, there was a delay for the same reason in Atlanta Dream's 124-88 victory at the Los Angeles Sparks on Thursday. Police in Los Angeles said a male suspect was detained by arena security, received a citation and was released. There were similar incidents last season in Atlanta, New York and Los Angeles. Some of the incidents resulted in arrests.
