Moments like that can be dangerous, so security was able to get them off the floor in a hurry.
Many people reacted to the incident.
Phil Mackey: "OK, so a fan just ran onto the court and got arrested.
She was presumably protesting the pathetic 2nd quarter effort by the Timberwolves, so it's tough to blame her..."
