Pacers-Pelicans postponed over roof leak

The NBA game between the Indiana Pacers and New Orleans Pelicans has been postponed because of a roof leak in the arena that briefly allowed rain water to fall near the court.

While officials fashioned a fabric basin in the rafters to stop water from dripping on the court, Pacers coach Nate McMillan said coaches and players on both teams didn't want to risk an injury.

"It's not a chance you want to take," McMillan said.

"Both coaches went out and looked at the floor and looked at the conditions ... and didn't want to take a chance of these players going out there playing on the floor with the possibility of a leak happening.
