Wizards-Rockets game had a 35-minute delay because of a bent rim

Less than a minute into the Monday night game at the Toyota Center between the Houston Rockets and the Washington Wizards, the referees noticed that one of the rims was bent and were forced to stop play.

Dwight Howard tried his hand at fixing the problem. He tried hanging on the rim, which didn’t work.

It took 35 minutes for play to resume, and the Rockets found some pretty interesting ways to fill the time.

“Interesting,” as in Clutch balanced on top of a huge, red exercise ball and attempted to sink a bunch of three-pointers. You can guess how well that went.
