So that fans and players can clearly distinguish the NBA tournament matches placed here or there in the regular season calendar, the floors have been modified. They are very colorful, with the new trophy clearly visible in the center. But there can be failures, and not just aesthetic ones. The proof in Denver, with the 3-point line.
It just wasn’t drawn correctly. Grant Williams, visiting the defending champion with the Mavericks, did not recognize the classic line at the Ball Arena on Friday morning.
“No way it’s that far away. Everything was short. I noticed right away that it wasn’t right.” comments on the interior, after his morning shootaround, to ESPN. “Either it was the perception, with the blue floor and the fact that the room was empty, or the line was too far from the basket. »
In fact, this line was not at the right distance. Between the morning and the pre-match warm-up, it was therefore corrected.
“The old one was still a little visible, so it was weird. But it will do, sometimes you have to adapt to imperfections”then added the former Boston player.
With 3/7 at 3-pts, Grant Williams was not too bothered by this little failure. Nor the Mavericks who shot 40% in this exercise in the defeat in Denver.
