Officials in Saturday night's Houston-Atlanta contest removed a game ball due to a sticky substance that Rockets center Dwight Howard had applied.
Howard applied a Stickum spray to his hands from a can covered in white tape while waiting to re-enter the game late in the first quarter.
After Hawks forward Paul Millsap made the first of two free throws, Howard checked back in and grabbed the ball from the official. When Millsap got the ball back, he immediately questioned what was on it.
"I've never felt the ball like that, ever," Millsap said, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "It was sticky. It was like super glue or something was on there. I couldn't get it off my hands. It was the weirdest thing ever."
Official Monty McCutchen investigated before going to each bench and issuing a warning. According to the Journal-Constitution, McCutchen told each team: "Stickum is illegal in the NBA."
The newspaper reported that Rockets coach J.B. Bickerstaff slid in front of the can, which was still at the scorer's table, in an attempt to hide it before McCutchen approached Houston's bench.
A member of the Rockets staff ultimately removed the can from the scorer's table.

I didn't even know Stickum was a thing in the NBA...

Anthony Davis being shut down for the rest of the year.
Is there a big star in the draft that they are tanking for?
No but they are out of it and he isn't completely healthy I guess.

He also likely won't get elected to the all NBA team with only 60 games played, which means he wouldn't activate the Rose clause, and that saves the team $24 million.

Because his particular skill set is in high demand

Yeah, I kind of can't believe he's even walking right now, much less in the game.
To show that the shot was clearly behind the line.
I've never noticed that before. Have they been doing that all season?
Only this year, and some in different colors.

It's not that noticeable on some courts.
i think it was the sixth game in 9 nights for GS, and they were missing iggy and bogut. but still.
i think these are two historically good teams. it will be a delight watching them play in the WCF

definitely. but if i had to bet, i think its gonna be these two squads.
obviously with the spurs, there's always the threat of injury to duncan/parker/manu

We still need him in the game, but last night he barely played.
Parker was pretty good, ginobli was effective for time in.
But really, LMA, Boris, and Kawhi did what they needed to edit: green also played himself a game

looked at his wiki, this is the picture. he's owned this shirt forever

All is well.

he is an amazing player
he'd always make amazing shots and passes off the bench for the Hawks
Bold strategy, Cotton, etc.
