Animal rights protests at Timberwolves games also draw spotlight on NBA security

Regardless of the cause or inspiration, the NBA and league security look the worst in the wake of ongoing protests at Minnesota Timberwolves postseason games.

Through three efforts, it seems safe to say the protestors, so far all women, are not violent. The first protestor tried to glue her hand to the court at the Timberwolves' play-in game. The second chained herself to one of the baskets. And on Saturday night, a third was sitting courtside and ran onto the court during the playoff game, though she was tackled almost immediately by security.
