Knicks-Kings game delayed to check rim after OG Anunoby dunk
NY Post
The Knicks-Kings game on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden was delayed 10 minutes to check if there was a rim malfunction.
During the second half, OG Anunoby hung on the rim after a ferocious dunk that appeared to force it to go crooked.
A Knicks worker came out with a ladder and level and measured different parts of the rim.
It was determined the rim wasn’t crooked, and the game shortly resumed.
The delay didn’t stop the Knicks momentum as they rolled to a 143-120 victory to improve to 30-16 on the season.

The Knicks can be scintillating. They can be fascinating. They can look like the most advanced form of basketball geometry some nights, when the passing is on point, and when the defense produces fast break opportunities. They can be electric. They can be a delight to watch. They can make you dream big, crazy dreams.
