It was midway through the fourth quarter that a fan entered the court from the sidelines and ran toward San Antonio player Victor Wembanyama in what appeared to be an attempt to get a selfie with the star.
However, the person was quickly detained by security and removed from the arena. The game was paused but resumed after about a minute.
The teams were evenly matched throughout the game, but in the final minutes New York was able to pull away.
