Game 4 of the NBA Finals was delayed for about nine minutes on 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 try, hung onto the rim for a moment or two afterward and 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 someone to climb up and investigate. 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. Medical personnel brought a stretcher out and wheeled a woman off who was covering her face with one of her hands.
