Oh gosh, you're right. I now see the fllashes which seem to be up in the backboard supports.
Sorry I asked
No, they are actually way up in the rafters. If the flashes were in the backboard they would be a real problem for the players, and even the fans. On TV they look like they are down near the floor, but when you're at a game and you look up, you can see them.
Even the old Boston Garden had them in the rafters. I have a photo I took from my seat of Cedric Maxwell going up for a shot in the 1984 Finals that almost perfectly caught a flash burst. The exact same shot (taken from the baseline) turned up in SI the next week.
