An accident happened quickly… Ask Bam Adebayo. There were just over 2 minutes left in the third quarter of Game 4 of the NBA Finals (Denver's 108-95 victory), Friday, in Miami, when the interior of the Heat took off to slam a two-handed dunk . At least he tried… One thing is certain, he hung on the left side of the hoop for a while. A bit too much ? Enough to cause an interruption. Nikola Jokic hung from the circle on the right side, just to test or repair the damage. The officials nevertheless preferred to intervene. With the fear that any repairs will cause an interruption of several tens of minutes, as we saw last year, after a dunk from Rudy Gobert during a match for the Blues (see bottom of page).
Still, the organization released the scales and the level to solve the slight problem. More fear than harm, everything was fine and the game was finally able to resume fairly quickly, after a handful of minutes of interlude. Unusual. Note that the match finally resumed only after the evacuation of a spectator, victim of discomfort.
