A "power surge" at Memphis's FedExForum caused a delay this afternoon early in the second quarter of Game 4 of the Spurs-Grizzlies series. It was the type of amateur hour shit you might expect from a middle school contest, or the Super Bowl that one time, but definitely not during an NBA playoff game:

After 18 minutes they got everything up and running again. The rest of the afternoon is anticipated to proceed as usual, with San Antonio expected to sweep Memphis without further delays.
