Celtics' Lucky grabbed a Lakers fan during half-time?

http://www.nba.com/finals2008/lakers_080617.html

"... Maybe it was done at halftime when two L.A. fans participating in a
knockout competition had to be escorted off the court after the Celtics
mascot, Lucky, held on to the ball of one of the guys wearing a Lakers
jersey to prevent him from advancing. When the L.A. fan eventually got
the ball back and knew he was eliminated, he flung it into the stands
and was promptly escorted off the court by Garden security..."


Is there a video clip or photograph of this? Is this true even? That's
crazy. :)

I wasn't really paying attention to the stupid half-time inanities,
but I remember that there was a guy in a Lakers jersey who threw the
ball into the crowd. He was escorted out by the Garden wannabecops. I
though it was just part of the so-called "entertainment." Not high on
the importance list to me at the time ... there was also a basketball
game that night, which the NBA seems to consider a secondary and
quaint old-fashioned part of the "game night experience."
