There was an odd moment — and extended ending — to Saturday afternoon’s 94-87 Nets victory over the Toronto Raptors. Midway through the third quarter, the shot clocks suddenly shut off, causing a ten-minute delay in game action as the arena crew tried to get them working again. During the delay, Kidd asked one of the referees something weird: if his team could “warm up” while they waited for the shot clocks to turn on, causing a funny back-and-forth between him and the referee:
The weirdest part of it all: they never fixed the shot clocks, and ended up using a manual stopwatch at the scorer’s table with the clock read out by the PA announcer for the rest of the game.
