Raptors vs. Pacers Paused After Speaker Catches Fire, Arena Evacuated

The Toronto Raptors gave a new meaning to catching fire in their matchup against the Indiana Pacers.

A speaker caught fire partway through the second quarter of the Eastern Conference matchup on Saturday, forcing Scotiabank Arena to be evacuated. Thankfully no one was hurt, and emergency crews extinguished the fire. The fire chief confirmed there was no harm to public safety.

The Raptors held a commanding 66-38 lead over the Pacers with four minutes left in the second quarter when the game was paused.

However, there is no word on when the game will be picked back up.
