The New York Knicks earned some points through unconventional means in New Orleans.
The Knicks benefitted from one of more bizarre technical foul calls in recent memory during Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans, as second quarter play at Smoothie King Center was stopped when the hosts' maintenance workers made an unauthorized entry on the floor.
The stoppage occurred shortly after a contested out of bounds call, one where the ball seemed to bounce off the head of a Pelicans player. As play was set to get back underway with a Knicks inbounds pass, the towel carrier attempted to mop up, much to the chagrin of would-be passerThe Pelicans towel boys run out there while the NOP coaches try and decide to challenge the out of bounds ruling. Either in an attempt to purposely or inadvertently buy them a couple extra seconds.
New Orleans did not wind up challenging the call and play resumed shortly after. The supposed charge against the towel man officially went down as a team technical foul against the Pelicans, who led by five at the time of the incident. In any event, it's the latest bizarre happening in a Pelicans season that has gone completely off the rails. Saturday marked their 15th loss in their past 16 games as they continued to work with depleted rosters that frequently lack the participation of franchise faces Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson.
