Summary
One fan was arrested after running onto the court with 6:32 left in the fourth quarter of the Knicks' 105-95 Game 1 win, briefly stopping play at Frost Bank Center.
The NBA said that fan and a second individual involved in the incident were banned for life from all league arenas after the intruder shouted "Wemby" and tried to take a selfie with Victor Wembanyama and Mitchell Robinson.
Security removed the fan within about a minute, the game resumed with a jump ball, and no one was hurt.
Wembanyama said he was surprised and unsure how to react, while Spurs coach Mitch Johnson downplayed the disruption, saying security handled it and everyone moved on.
