The San Antonio Spurs were battling it out against the Memphis Grizzlies late in the first quarter when this happened:

Sometimes, weird things happen in the NBA.

The fans seemingly got distracted when a bird, which many believed to be a pigeon, was seen flying inside the AT&T Center.

But hey, this is not the first time that a flying creature invaded the Spurs' home floor. Remember in 2009, when Spurs legend Manu Ginobili swatted a bat who came out of nowhere?

What about the incident four years ago, when it was San Antonio's mascot's turn to nab a flying intruder?

Yes. The Coyote even wore a Batman costume.

Here's a crazy stat. The team has never lost since 2009 when a flying creature is able to find its way inside the AT&T Center. They beat the Sacramento Kings in 2009, the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2015, and just a few moments ago, they demolished the Grizzlies 108-88.

They seem to bring a good amount of luck to the Spurs, don't you think?

While Spurs fans will remember this as just another day in San Antonio, Memphis might need the help of a Grizzly bear to turn their season around. They have now lost four straight and are continuously sliding down the Western Conference standings.
