Protester Tried To Glue Herself To The Court During Timberwolves Game

MINNEAPOLIS — The activist who interrupted the Minnesota Timberwolves-Los Angeles Clippers play-in game Tuesday night has since been dubbed the "glue lady."

That's because Alicia Santurio, who works for the animal rights group Direct Action Everywhere, literally tried to glue herself to the court under one of the baskets at Target Center.

Santurio was wearing a shirt that read "GLEN TAYLOR ROASTS ANIMALS ALIVE" during the incident. Direct Action Everywhere claims that Glen Taylor, who co-owns the Timberwolves, owns an abusive factory farm in Iowa.

Journalist Mirjam Swanson shared an image of the scene on Twitter, and TNT sideline reporter Allie LaForce explained the scene live during the broadcast.

The Athletic's Jon Krawczynski shared a photo Wednesday morning that showed a handprint from the glue incident remains on the court.

Despite the disruption, the Timberwolves went on to defeat the Clippers, 109 to 104, in the NBA play-in tournament.

The Wolves have officially made the playoffs and will face the No. 2 seeded Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. central in a best of seven series.
