Celtics' TD Garden Basket Revealed to Be Too High After Warriors' Complaints

The warm-ups for the Golden State Warriors were put on hold because their basket was too high.

The situation was broken down by an athlete.

With a little over 90 minutes to tip off one of the Warriors assistant coaches noticed that the rim seemed too high in early warmups. He brought a couple players out to confirm and they also believed the rim was too high. They measured and in fact the rim was 2 inches too high.

One of the players noticed the difference.

Was told that Warriors guard Gary Payton II thought the basket Golden State was warming up on was too high, pointed it out, and was correct. It's been adjusted.

Game 3 of the NBA Finals will be played on June 3. There is an hour and a half later.

It's an unusual late start for an NBA Finals game in the Eastern time zone, and Warriors head coach Steve Kerr joked about it during a press conference.

"It's a good thing the game starts at midnight." 😂
