Saturday\u2019s Knicks victory was delayed for about 10 minutes because of a bent rim that was actually straight.<\/p>\n
Apparently Mikal Bridges jump-started an early fourth quarter investigation by telling the officials the rim was askew as he was taking free throws. <\/p>\n
The thought was that a previous dunk from OG Anunoby had shifted the metal circle.<\/p>\n

But after an MSG worker climbed a ladder and tested the alignment with a level-line tool, the rim was determined to be regulation.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Mikal] was the only one who thought it was crooked,\u201d Josh Hart said jokingly. \u201cHe has bad vision anyway so I think that\u2019s part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t impact the Knicks, who cruised to a 143-120 victory. Bridges also hit his free throw immediately after the delay.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey asked us if we wanted to warm up and the players felt like they were ready to go so [we didn\u2019t have a warmup after the delay],\u201d Tom Thibodeau said. \u201cThat\u2019s an NBA game. Stay focused. \u2026 It looked like there may have been a dunk that knocked it off a little bit. And it seemed like it was down a little. But when they hung on it a little bit and it looked like it snapped back and it looked like it was fine. Stuff happens, you just deal with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Knicks got a boost from their bench against the Kings, specifically from Landry Shamet\u2019s shooting and Precious Achiuwa\u2019s defense.<\/p>\n
Shamet, who was recently reintegrated into the rotation, knocked down nine points on three treys \u2014 his highest scoring output of the season.<\/p>\n
Achiuwa collected five rebounds, two steals and a block in just 18 minutes. Most impressively, the Knicks outscored the Kings by 27 points with Achiuwa on the court.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis quickness is different and he actually guarded DeMar [DeRozan] on some possessions and did a really good job on him,\u201d Thibodeau said. \u201cBut you can put him on the pick-and-roll, he can do two things at once. He can be up on the ball and still get back to his man. And he had a big block. He reacts quickly to the ball. And I think that was important. They were small at times so it allowed us to do a little more switching, too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
