A strange moment happened during the Grizzlies-Timberwolves game on Saturday night.
An animal rights protestor wearing an NBA jersey ended up storming the court, though she was quickly removed. This was the third protestor removed from the court in almost two weeks.
The lady was sitting in the second row behind Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor. She was quickly identified as Sasha Zemmel from St. Louis.
She was wearing a referee jersey with the number 5.3 on the back of it. According to the New York Post, that was to signify how many chickens have been killed.

The Timberwolves ended up winning, 119-118 in dramatic fashion to the series up at two as it shifts back to Memphis. This also means that there will be a Game 6 back at the Target Center on Apr. 29.
This protestor won’t be there for that game and likely won’t ever be allowed to see a home Timberwolves game in person for a long time.
