Knicks-Raptors delayed after MSG rain, ceiling leak

The Mets weren’t the only local team to deal with rain on Sunday.

The Knicks’ game against the Raptors was delayed for several minutes with 3:58 left in the third quarter after water dripped from the ceiling at Madison Square Garden.

A spokesman for the team said there was a ‘small drop of rain’ from the ceiling, but it had been ‘fixed’.

Players from both teams were shown looking up at the ceiling during the 14-minute delay, while a staffer mopped up the water with a towel.

After play resumed, the staffer cleared the area inside the Knicks’ defensive basket key after each possession in Toronto.

A few hours earlier, the Mets suspended their game against the Marlins after a 2 hour and 10 minute rain delay.

Much to the dismay of Mets-starting pitcher Marcus Stroman, the teams tried to play through the rain for seven minutes before it was eventually called off.
