Why Knicks game was delayed by bent rim that was actually straight
NY Post
Saturday’s Knicks victory was delayed for about 10 minutes because of a bent rim that was actually straight.
Apparently Mikal Bridges jump-started an early fourth quarter investigation by telling the officials the rim was askew as he was taking free throws.
The thought was that a previous dunk from OG Anunoby had shifted the metal circle.
But after an MSG worker climbed a ladder and tested the alignment with a level-line tool, the rim was determined to be regulation.
“[Mikal] was the only one who thought it was crooked,” Josh Hart said jokingly. “He has bad vision anyway so I think that’s part of it.”
It didn’t impact the Knicks, who cruised to a 143-120 victory. Bridges also hit his free throw immediately after the delay.
