The 2022 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics moved to Boston for a crucial 3 game on Wednesday night – a game the Celtics won to take a 2-1 lead. Players generally take care to limit distractions at such a critical time in the postseason, allowing themselves to focus on pursuing a title. Before Game 3, however, there was a significant distraction that the Warriors could not ignore. During the pre-match warm-up, some of the Warriors noticed that something was wrong with their basket. They made their objections known and the TD Garden staff took out the measuring instrument to confirm the height. Sure, the rim was two inches higher than the normal height of 10 feet, according to ESPN’s Kendra Andrews. Some of you out there may be asking, “Two inches, what’s the big deal?” There is a HUGE difference between a 10 foot basket and a 10 foot 2 basket. It was obviously a significant change enough for players to notice, and fortunately they fixed it before the update. Warriors coach Steve Kerr was asked about the situation before the game and joked: “It’s good that the game starts at midnight”, compared to the start time at 9 p.m. in the East. “It happens every now and then,” Kerr said. “Players have a very keen eye for it. Players can say it.” Dub Nation has already started shouting conspiracy – suggesting that the Celtics deliberately raised the bar to dismiss Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and the other Warriors snipers – but, as Kerr said, these things have been happening for a long time. Cairo. The good news is that the facility staff rectified the situation before the game started. If the Warriors had noticed it in the middle of the first ten minutes and lost the game, there would undoubtedly have been a great outcry.
