For the second time in three games, a protest outside Golden 1 Center overshadowed the basketball played inside the arena.
Approximately 4,000 fans, who entered before the arena doors were locked for safety reasons, watched the Kings lose to the Dallas Mavericks 103-97 on Tuesday, with about 13,600 seats unfilled.
Demonstrators blocked entrances to the arena in response to the death of Stephen Clark, 22, an unarmed African American who was shot by Sacramento police late on March 18. Officers were responding to reports of a man breaking car windows. They shot at Clark 20 times in his grandmother's backyard.
