Will Hardy Addresses Viral Ballboy Clip From Jazz–Bulls Matchup

At a critical point in the game with just under six minutes to go in regulation, those points are pivotal, so it's easy to see why Hardy had such a reaction to one of the more head-scratching calls to be made by an official.

Will Hardy Reacts to Delay of Game vs. Bulls

So after the game that wound up being an extensive double overtime effort, it was only right that Hardy would be asked about what exactly transpired in that weird fourth-quarter moment, and in an effort to save face from a league fine, he might've had to bite his tongue a bit.

"Team attendant came out to wipe up sweat without being asked by the officials," Hardy explained of the Jazz's delay of game. "I don't want to give money away, so I'm not going to comment on what I think of that particular moment... Christmas is coming."

A safe, quiet approach from the Jazz coach to keep his pockets in the clear–– but reading between the lines, he was not one to concur with the ruling on the floor.

After that free throw, Chicago would eventually be led into a double set of overtimes against the Jazz, and thanks to some heroics from Markkanen and George, Utah pulled out win number five on the year despite some late funky work from the officials.

It's not often you see a ball boy swaying the outcome of the end result of a game, but this time around, it might've played into effect a bit. However, after a refreshing win, Hardy won't be putting his dollars on the line to voice his opinion. He might just be keeping a bit more of a keen eye on the ball boys a bit moving forward.
