ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 The fire alarm system at Orlando’s Kia Center apparently didn’t want to hear discussions about a potential Game 7 between the Magic and Detroit Pistons on Friday night.<\/p>

During head coach Jamahl Mosley’s pregame press conference before Game 6, loud alarm horns suddenly began echoing through the arena. The timing couldn’t have been more ironic \u2014 a reporter had just asked whether injured forward Franz Wagner could potentially return for a seventh game.<\/p>

As the question was posed, the emergency sirens kicked in.<\/p>

“That’s not a good sign,” Mosley remarked.<\/p>

The coach attempted to continue answering, noting that Wagner’s availability would depend on his response to ongoing treatment. Meanwhile, an automated announcement system began broadcasting evacuation procedures to anyone inside the facility.<\/p>

When the alarms sounded again moments later, Mosley decided to wrap up the session.<\/p>

“All right, that’s good, thank you, appreciate it,” Mosley said as he concluded the interview.<\/p>

A team representative later verified the alarms were malfunctioning. Detroit head coach J.B. Bickerstaff’s media session, which began roughly ten minutes after Mosley’s concluded, proceeded without any emergency interruptions.<\/p>

Orlando entered Friday’s contest holding a 3-2 series advantage over the Pistons.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
