MEXICO CITY – Wednesday was travel day for the Boston Celtics. This one, however, was a bit unique.

The Celtics traveled to Mexico City for the first time in franchise history for their showdown with Rajon Rondo and the Sacramento Kings Thursday night. The game will be played at 9 p.m. local time in Mexico City Arena, which opened on Feb. 25, 2012.

Following their arrival at Mexico City International Airport, the team quickly passed through customs and boarded two chartered buses. A police escort then assisted the team through a 45-minute ride over to the arena for practice.
