There was a rain delay at NBA game on Tuesday
The great thing about sports is if you have a ticket to a game, you never know what could happen.
See a no-hitter in baseball? Watch a quarterback throw for 500 yards? Witness a soccer player score a hat trick?
Anyone at Tuesday night’s Heat-Nets game in Brooklyn got treated to an NBA rain delay.
Yep, it’s true.
The Barclays Center, which opened in 2012, cost $1 billion, but it appears some skimped on the roof.
A rain delay in basketball... that's a first. Way to go Barclay's Center

Then they found a bigger bucket:
