Warriors-Pistons Game Briefly Halted by False Fire Alarm at Chase Center

Fans were evacuated after a fire alarm and jumbotron warning, but the game resumed following an all-clear announcement.

A fire alarm interrupted the Golden State Warriors vs. Detroit Pistons game at Chase Center in San Francisco after the first quarter on Saturday night.
The arena's jumbotron displayed an evacuation message, instructing fans to leave the building, while sirens blared throughout the venue.
Approximately 20% of attendees initially evacuated before an announcement confirmed it was a false alarm, allowing fans to return to their seats.
The incident caused a five-minute delay in the start of the second quarter, with players remaining near their benches during the confusion.
The arena's sound system malfunctioned after the alarm, leaving the remainder of the game with only on-court and crowd noises.
