Game 4 of NBA final interrupted to check one of the rims

Jun 9, 2023 | 8:54 PM

MIAMI (AP) — Game 4 of the NBA final halted for about nine minutes Friday night after Miami’s Bam Adebayo appeared to bend one of the rims on a missed dunk attempt.

It happened with 2:07 left in the third quarter.

Adebayo missed a two-hand dunk attempt and hung onto the rim for a moment or two afterward. That’s when someone noticed that the basket didn’t appear to be level.

Play was stopped and within about five minutes, a ladder was brought onto the court for an investigation.

The rim was declared OK — and then the stoppage continued because of an separate incident at the other end of the court by the Heat bench.
