The remaining Celtics fans were evacuated from TD Garden after an alarm went off, according to officials and reporters on scene.
The Celtics lost their second game in the series against the New York Knicks in Boston Wednesday night. The game ended around 9:30 p.m., and around an hour later, members of the media and players had to evacuate in lieu of their regular postgame interviews.
The Celtics, after a 91-90 loss, shared a statement from TD Garden confirming the incident in a statement. No one was injured, the venue said.
“Fire alarm went off tonight post game,” TD Garden’s statement read. “The cause of the fire alarm is currently under investigation.”
Multiple reporters shared videos of fire trucks outside the Garden and reporters congregating outside the North Station entrance to the stadium.
Josh Hart, the Knicks’ small forward, reacted to the fire alarm during postgame interviews minutes before TD Garden was evacuated.
“No one else worried about that?” Hart asks.
"No one else worried about that?"
