Kevin Durant and Devin Booker had to wait a few extra seconds to get their second half started on Tuesday night … and it’s all ’cause a puppy peed on their court.
Key Takeaway
A puppy peed on the court during the Phoenix Suns’ halftime show, causing a delay in the game.
Puppy Halftime Show Mishap
The hilarious moment went down as the Suns brought out a gaggle of young dogs to race during the halftime break in Phoenix’s matchup against the Sacramento Kings at Footprint Center in Arizona. The contest started out innocently enough — the pups cutely loitered around the starting line … before one of the doggos was lured out by some cheerleaders with toys.
Unplanned Pit Stop
As they tried to get the puppy to cross the checkered finish, though, he had to paw-se to relieve himself!! The race still continued despite the puddle near halfcourt … before, mercifully, one of the furry friends finally touched the finish line.
Game Delay and Victory
While it took a few beats to get the area all cleaned up, Durant and Booker were ultimately able to take the floor again. The Suns went on to win the game, 119-117, after storming back from a deficit.
History Repeats Itself
Of course, the team is kind of used to overcoming these messy halftime moments … just a year ago, a dog did the same thing during the same race! But, hey, if it keeps leading to wins … howl could you change it?!
