A flying mammal was terrorizing the fans of Vivint Smart Home Arena and it wasn’t a Timberwolf skying high for a dunk. Instead it was an actual bat that was stuck inside the arena. Many people tried to bring down the winged creature to no avail. Jazz personnel was not able to call in Manu Ginobili on such short notice, so they got the next best thing: A Bear.
Nobody can catch this bat flying around the arena ahead of the Jazz-Timberwolves tip-off, not even Jazz Bear. pic.twitter.com/U5obXEwmw5

The Jazz Bear came to the rescue and took down the bat.
