You rarely see a rain delay at a basketball game but there was one at American Airlines Center in Dallas Monday night.
The Dallas Mavericks were hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves and the game was just about to begin when a downpour going on in Dallas, water started leaking about ten rows behind the Wolves' bench.
Tip-off was delayed until just before 8 p.m. while crews tried to take care of the problem. But the leak continued so the officials decided to start the game anyway.
The water was not reaching the floor so it did not affect play. But the fans in that section had to move around to avoid getting soaked.
There's no word on why the roof was leaking in a $420-million dollar arena that's only 22 years old.
