In the first quarter of the Rockets game against the Hawks, Paul Millsap was at the free-throw line. He was seemingly upset with a liquid substance on the ball. It turns out, Dwight had sprayed Stickum spray on his hands and gotten some on the ball.
Official Monty McCutchen grabbed the ball and issued a warning to each team, saying ‘Stickum is illegal in the NBA.’
In an attempt to cover up the scandal (?), J.B. Bickerstaff slid in front of the can, which was sitting on the scorer’s table where Dwight left it. McCutchen said he knew what Bickerstaff was hiding.
