US EditionBlaring horn after a power surge delays Pistons and Cavaliers in 3rd quarter
- During the nationally televised Pistons–Cavaliers game at Little Caesars Arena, a buzzer sounded with 7:24 left in the third quarter and did not turn off for roughly 10 minutes while the Pistons led 65-64.
- PA announcer John Mason said a power surge caused the overhead scoreboard to malfunction and the warning horn to blare uncontrollably at Little Caesars Arena.
- Game operations switched to manual methods, as the scoring crew used an airhorn after the shot clock and center-court video board turned off, prompting an official stoppage; moments later, the overhead scoreboard briefly powered back on.
- After a midcourt discussion with coaches, officials said the game would continue without the main scoreboard, bringing Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff and Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson to midcourt during the awkward ESPN broadcast pause.
- Players returned to the benches and were later told to warm up before play resumed, and after about 13 minutes the horn stopped only when arena staff shut down the overhead scoreboard, prompting loud cheers from the crowd at Little Caesars Arena.
