DENVER – As with anything happening for the first time, there were bound to be glitches connected to the NBA’s first in-season tournament.
Luckily, the one at Ball Arena was caught before it actually caused any havoc.
Nuggets coach Michael Malone said before Friday’s game that parts of the new in-season tournament court had to be repainted earlier in the day. The three-point arc, apparently wasn’t quite right.
The Mavericks, who had shootaround at the arena Friday morning, took notice.
“This morning’s three-point line was different than it was when we came back this afternoon,” acting coach Sean Sweeney said before the game.
