Quick-thinking NBA security guard goes viral and receives plenty of attention on social media for taking down a protester during a playoff game.

As the media reports, the animal rights protester wore an NBA referee jersey as she leaped from her seat, storming onto the court where the Memphis Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves went head-to-head.  

One guard quickly tackled her to the ground while players continued the game. Several other security guards moved to hold her down.
