OKLAHOMA CITY -- A wave of brutally cold weather has cause a host of serious issues around the country, leaving many without power and water while stuck at home or stranded somewhere in between due to impassable roads. And while they issues the Trail Blazers have encountered on the road are nowhere near as serious, they too have had to adjust on the fly due to inclement weather.
Despite being scheduled to play Wednesday night in New Orleans, as of Wednesday afternoon, the Trail Blazers were still in Oklahoma City. Typically, teams fly out right after games, and that’s especially true in between back-to-backs, but the Trail Blazers’ flight out of Will Rogers Airport was cancelled before tipoff of their 115-104 victory Tuesday night versus the Thunder at Chesapeake Energy Arena, apparently due to a lack of deicer.
