FedExForum in Memphis was evacuated during Tuesday night's game between the Los Angeles Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies when a broken water main tripped a fire alarm during the third period.

Fans were told to exit the building by taking the stairs only.

The game was halted with the Clippers leading 89-77 with less than a minute to go in the third.
