Assembly Hall was a mess with 10:06 to play.
An in-arena alarm in the balcony forced both teams to stop play as security escorted fans out of the arena because of state law. It was one of the oddest things to happen in Assembly in recent years, but after a short intermission, fans were allowed to come back into the building and return to their seats.
“I want to thank our fan base, the crowd, for going through what we all went through and still came back into the game and gave us the support we needed to get over the hump and win the game,” Mike Woodson said postgame.
