No, water did not come rushing into FedEx Forum Tuesday night like something out of “Poseidon” (shout out to Johnny Drama). There was simply a water line break that caused an alarm to go off near the end of the third quarter of the Grizzlies-Clippers game. The malfunction led to the complete evacuation of the arena for 17 minutes, according to a press release from the Grizzlies.

No fans were harmed in the incident, but they were subjected to a Grizzlies-Clippers game so obviously psychological damage was not one of the things measured by health officials.

As part of its commitment to “a world-class championship experience”, the team is offering fans the opportunity to exchange tickets from Tuesday night’s game for tickets to the Grizzlies-Timberwolves game Friday night.

If you’re shaking your head in amazement over the irony of that statement, just know that I’m right there with you. A world-class championship experience? Are we talking about the same Grizzlies here?
