The Cavaliers-Lakers' game on Sunday afternoon was delayed 12 minutes because of a small leak in the roof of the STAPLES Center.
Cleveland led 19-18 with 3:36 left in the first quarter when the game was halted.
"Because of all the rain and some leaks we had last month, we had a roofing company called out and they were inspecting the roof this morning," Staples Center spokesman Michael Roth told the Associated Press. "When they came off the roof, they took off their rain gear and left it on a catwalk, which was over the north basket, and their equipment as well."
"Because everything was so soaking wet, it started to leak on the court. When we went up there to inspect, we realized it was coming from the gear that was on the catwalk that has slats in it. We removed the equipment and the gear, and we're good."
