The Knicks-Kings game on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden was delayed 10 minutes to check if there was a rim malfunction.
Early in the fourth quarter, OG Anunoby hung on the rim after a ferocious dunk, and one Knick thought that it appeared to force it to go crooked.

A Knicks worker came out with a ladder and level and measured different parts of the rim.

It was determined the rim wasn’t crooked, and the game shortly resumed.
The delay didn’t stop the Knicks momentum as they rolled to a dominant victory to improve to 30-16 on the season.
