New, comments

Due to smoke in the arena in Mexico City, the scheduled game between the Wolves and Spurs has been postponed.

Well, that ended badly.

What always seemed like a bad idea--a one off game on a Wednesday night in Mexico City-- turned out even worse then expected tonight when the game had to be postponed due to smoke in the arena.

Whether due to an escalator fire or a faulty generator--the two reported causes, the Mexico City Arena was rendered unusable.

Presumably the game will be rescheduled for Target Center as it was being counted as a Wolves home game. No word on when that might happen.

The Wolves will head back to Minneapolis where they will face the Heat on Friday night.

We'll update if/as needed.
