Though Thunder fans have seen plenty of on-court disasters this season, things have begun to turn around ... slowly (so slowly) but surely. But someone had to feel to hardwood horror quota. Take it away, Friday night's halftime entertainment!
Kristen Johnson [pictured], billed as the world's best female escape artist, performs the water torture cell made famous by Harry Houdini decades ago. The crowd became concerned when Johnson was in tank for about four minutes during her halftime act and seemed to struggle at the end. Thunder officials said the act didn't go as planned, but Johnson was fine.Thank goodness for that; the tin foil crowd already compares David Stern's NBA to pro wrestling. This will go down as the most notorious NBA halftime catastrophe since New Orleans mascot Hugo the Hornet set the court on fire during a botched Ring of Fire stunt ... during a playoff game last year.
