An accident quickly happened... Ask Bam Adebayo. There were just over 2 minutes left in the third quarter of Game 4 of the NBA Finals (Denver won 108-95) on Friday in Miami, when the Heat interior took off to slam a two-handed dunk. At least, he tried... One thing is certain, it hung for a while on the left side of the hoop. A little too much? Enough to cause an interruption. Nikola Jokic hung himself from the circle on the right side, just to test or repair the damage. The officials, however, preferred to intervene. With the fear that the possible repairs cause an interruption of several tens of minutes, as we had seen last year, after a dunk of Rudy Gobert during a game of the Blues (see bottom of page).

Still, the organization took out the ladders and the level to solve the slight problem. More fear than harm, everything was fine and the game was finally able to resume quite quickly, after a handful of minutes of interlude. Unusual. It should be noted that the match finally resumed only after the evacuation of a spectator, victim of a malaise.
