Warriors finally slowed — plane to Houston delayed in Oakland

The Warriors’ charter plane to Houston was delayed Friday, meaning the team won’t be able to put in an afternoon practice the day before Game 3 of the conference finals at the Toyota Center.

The charter Delta Airlines jet used by the team had some mechanical issues, according to media reports.

This adds some drama. #Warriors plane delayed in Oakland with mechanical issues. Instead of arriving in Houston at 3:30, now maybe 9pm.

At first, reports surfaced that bad weather was to blame, or maybe a computer glitch.
