The Detroit Pistons lost to the Chicago Bulls Wednesday night, 105-94, and Chicago All-Star Joakim Noah recorded a triple double.
But Noah paid for his excellent pay when he left the court and had an unexpected encounter with the Piston mascot, the wily Hooper.
Hooper has been known to clown with players before games, and Noah and Hooper played around on the court during warm-ups Wednesday. But the post-game prank appeared to be spontaneous.
