Yesterday morning at around 6:30 a.m., Atlanta witnessed an unexpected snowfall that lasted for nearly three hours. The heavy snow, coupled with the city’s limited infrastructure for dealing with winter weather, caused widespread disruptions, including school closures, power outages, and business shutdowns over the past 24 hours.
Among the impacts of this severe weather, the NBA game scheduled for this afternoon between the Atlanta Hawks and the Houston Rockets at State Farm Arena has been postponed. The decision was made in consultation with local officials, prioritizing the safety of players, fans, and staff as icy road conditions have rendered travel in the city dangerous.
This highly anticipated matchup between two young and dynamic teams, including the Rockets’ rising stars and the Hawks’ own promising talent, promises to be an exciting game when rescheduled. The league has yet to announce a new date for the game but ensures that safety remains the top priority during this winter storm.
Stay tuned for updates on the rescheduling of this must-watch battle between two of the league’s most exciting young teams.
