Cue the NBA conspiracy theorists.
The Golden State Warriors had to pause their Game 3 pregame shoot-around on Wednesday because the rim at Boston's TD Garden was too high. Seriously. How does this happen? During the NBA Finals of all times.
Per the San Jose Mercury News, Warriors players felt something was off with the basket during their warmup in the final hours before Game 3's tip. Sure enough, they were right. Arena staff brought out the latest in measurement technology to check on their concerns. The rim was indeed a few inches too high.
