Celtics fans are some of the most amazing people 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 for about 90 minutes before the game, which they won 113–92 over the Magic. When the storm warning went off, the music on one of the players’ phones stopped all of a sudden.
That was a bad sign for the team’s plans to drive that night. The Wolves’ plan had to be changed because of the big storm that hit the East Coast on Tuesday.
The team had to stay in Orlando on Tuesday night instead of taking a plane to Boston so they wouldn’t miss their game against the Celtics on Wednesday. When the Wolves play the league-leading team on Wednesday, they will have to fly to Boston first.
In the middle Rudy Gobert said he was upset that he had to fly the same day. We still have a chance to win, even though they have a great team. We should be able to unwind before the game, and everything should go as planned. It’s too bad that your flight is on the same day as the game. I don’t think I’ve ever done that.
What the Wolves had to do not long ago. In March 2019, a so-called “cyclone” messed up the Wolves’ travel plans, so they had to wait until the morning of their next game in Utah to come in. Only Karl-Anthony Towns is still on the team from that time.
The forward said that the last time Jaden McDaniels did something like this was probably during his AAU seasons.
For sixteen years, Mike Conley only remembers one time when he had to travel to a place on the same day as a game.
“Not looking forward to it, I’m not going to lie,” he said.
When the Wolves beat the Pacers on December 16, they beat a team that had been having trouble traveling earlier in the season. The Pacers’ plane had technical problems, and they had a hard time getting another jet. That afternoon, just before their 7 o’clock game, Indiana got to Minnesota.
Since the Celtics didn’t play on Tuesday, they will have a full bench.
