An NBA matchup between the Detroit Pistons and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Feb. 27, 2026, was paused for an unexpectedly long stretch after the arena’s horn began sounding repeatedly and at full volume.
Officials stopped play as the blaring buzzer echoed through the building, creating what witnesses described as a “bizarre” and deafening scene. Game personnel worked to identify and silence the malfunctioning device while players and coaches waited courtside.
The contest remained on hold until the horn was finally shut off, allowing the game to continue. No further technical issues were reported once play resumed.
