A winter storm that swept through New Orleans on Tuesday has forced the postponement of Wednesday night's NBA game between the Milwaukee Bucks and the New Orleans Pelicans . The storm, which brought freezing temperatures and icy conditions to the usually warm city, made travel treacherous and prompted authorities to close many major highways. The Bucks, who flew into New Orleans a day early in anticipation of the storm, were unable to play because road conditions remained unsafe.
Temperatures in the 30s and widespread ice on surface roads throughout the city made it impossible for players and staff to safely travel to the Smoothie King Center. The Bucks are scheduled to play in Miami on Thursday, but it remains unclear whether they will be able to depart New Orleans on time due to lingering winter weather conditions
