NBA Postpones Hawks-Rockets Game Due to Weather

The NBA has postponed the highly anticipated game between the Atlanta Hawks and Houston Rockets originally set for January 11, 2025, due to severe weather conditions in Atlanta, including icy roads and freezing rain. This decision was made to ensure the safety of players, staff, and fans, and a rescheduled date has yet to be announced. The postponement is part of a wider trend, as the league has already canceled three other games this week due to extreme weather in the East Coast and ongoing wildfires in Southern California. While the Hawks currently hold a 19-19 record, the Rockets have an impressive 25-12 record, adding to the stakes of the postponed matchup. Other local events and attractions in Atlanta have also faced cancellations or delays due to the adverse weather. Fans have expressed disappointment but largely understand the league's focus on safety.
