We experienced a building-wide brown-out that caused us to lose lights on court. We expect a 10 to 12 min delay.

The power outage was not weather-related, and was promptly addressed. San Antonio was leading Memphis 25-23 when the outage occurred.
The Spurs will attempt to complete a four-game sweep of the Grizzlies and advance to the second round of the playoffs.
