Controversy in the NBA final: Golden State Warriors players discovered an unexpected irregularity in the Boston Celtics ring

The boston celtics they defeated in the TD Garden to the Golden State Warriors and they stamped the 2-1 in the heads-up that will define the next winner of the best basketball league on the planet. However, in the run-up to the meeting it was filled with controversy over a detail that the visitors realized during the heat entrance: one hoop was higher than the other.

With a little over 90 minutes to go in the game, one of the California franchise’s assistant coaches noted that the hoop seemed too high on the first releases. He called some players to confirm and they agreed that the target was higher than normal. They automatically contacted the mourning authorities who were in charge of accurately measuring and they concluded that in fact it was five centimeters above the regulation.

The first to notice the Warriors roster was Gary Payton II seeing that he could not finish calibrating the shots. The main complaint was that if they did not notice the error in the height of the hoop, the start of the game was going to be complicated for those from Golden State since they warmed up with a target that was not in the regulation position. Steve Kerr, trainer of Stephen Curry and company was the first to lower the severity of the fact: “It happens every once in a while. The players have a very sharp eye, they always realize “.

Former head coach, general manager and team president Auerbach Network He was accused on several occasions of different peculiarities such as turning off the hot water in the visitors’ locker room at TD Garden until spots where the ball didn’t bounce were placed on the pitch properly when building the parquet with rotten wood from the forests of Massachusetts.

The Hall of Fame member bill waltona member of the 1986 champion team, explained that he didn’t think anything inappropriate had happened in relation to the height of the baskets. “I’m surprised Steve didn’t say anything about Red Auerbach,” he said, pointing to the Golden State Warriors coach. Beyond the mystery of the hoop, the visit could not gain a foothold in the change of location and fell by 116 to 100.
