False Alarms Cut Into Jamahl Mosley’s Game 6 Media Session

jamahl mosley’s pregame media availability at Orlando’s Kia Center was cut short Friday night when alarms blared during Game 6 against the Detroit Pistons. The interruption came as Mosley was fielding a question about Franz Wagner’s possible Game 7 availability, and a team official later said the alarms were false.

Kia Center Alarm Burst

The horns started while Mosley was answering whether Wagner might be able to play in a Game 7. He said Wagner’s status would depend on how he responds to treatment, then stopped after the alarms returned a few seconds later.

A computerized voice also gave instructions to people inside the building while the alarms sounded. Mosley ended the session with a brief signoff: “All right, that's good, thank you, appreciate it,”

Bickerstaff Session Runs Clean

Detroit coach J.B. Bickerstaff began his media session about 10 minutes after Mosley’s ended, and it went off without any alarms. The contrast came on a night when the Magic entered Game 6 with a 3-2 lead in the series, leaving Orlando one win from pushing the Pistons to the limit.

The alarm episode did not linger past the pregame window, but it briefly overtook a standard playoff media session and forced Mosley to cut his remarks short. For Orlando, the main basketball task stayed the same: protect the 3-2 edge and keep the series from reaching a Game 7.
