Indeed, Celtics supporters are among the most incredible in the world.
Can they make the back-to-back tougher? Timberwolves have to stay overnight in Orlando
Everyone in the Timberwolves’ locker room had a ringing phone approximately 90 minutes before the game began, which they eventually won 113–92 against the Magic. As the tornado warning was announced, the music that was connected to one of the players’ phones abruptly stopped.
It was a worrying indicator for the team’s evening travel arrangements. Because of a huge weather system that swept the East Coast on Tuesday, the Wolves’ schedule was altered.
In order to avoid missing Wednesday’s game against the Celtics, the squad had to spend Tuesday night in Orlando instead of boarding a plane to Boston. The Wolves will face the league-leading team on Wednesday after flying to Boston for the match.
Center Rudy Gobert expressed his dismay at having to fly on the same day. Even though they’re a top-tier squad, we still have a shot at winning. With any luck, we’ll be able to relax before the game and everything will go according to plan. Your flight is on the same day as the game, what a misfortune. I can’t remember ever doing that.
It was something the Wolves had to do recently. The Wolves were delayed in their March 2019 travel plans due to a so-called “cyclone”; as a result, they had to wait until the morning of their next game in Utah to fly in. From that era, only Karl-Anthony Towns remаins a member of the squad.
The last time Jaden McDaniels did anything similar was probably during his AAU seasons, the forward said.
There was just one occasion in Mike Conley’s sixteen-year career where he remembers traveling to a city on the same day as a game.
“Not looking forward to it, not going to lie,” he commented.
The Wolves got the better of a club that was dealing with travel problems earlier in the season when they defeated the Pacers on December 16. The Pacers had plane mechanical problems and had trouble arranging another jet. Just before their 7 o’clock game, that afternoon, Indiana landed in Minnesota.
The Celtics will be playing with a full bench because they didn’t play on Tuesday.
