With the Brooklyn Nets headed towards their third straight loss on Thursday night against the Dallas Mavericks, one fan took out his frustrations by chucking a cup of ice in the direction of Mavericks' superstar Luka Doncic. The spillage caused a delay in the action during overtime and ultimately led to the fan's arrest.

Per a report from TMZ Sports, according to the NYPD, 24-year-old Justin Boatswain was the guilty party.
"Boatswain was immediately ID'ed as the cup-thrower, according to cops, and was escorted from his seat. Authorities say he was ultimately arrested and charged with a misdemeanor for interfering with a sporting event," the report read.
Despite a clutch steal from Ben Simmons and an ensuing game-tying dunk from Kevin Durant in the waning seconds of regulation on Thursday, Doncic's 41-point triple-double ultimately led visiting Dallas to a 129-125 win.
