The Atlanta Hawks were scheduled to host the Houston Rockets at State Farm Arena on Saturday. The game was postponed, however, due to severe weather conditions in the Atlanta area. On Friday night a winter storm slammed the city and made traveling dangerous enough that the NBA made the call to delay the game pretty soon thereafter.

A snowstorm that brought freezing temperatures and black ice have forced the NBA to postpone Saturday's game between Houston and Atlanta.

The Rockets’ game on Saturday vs. the Hawks was postponed “due to the severe weather and hazardous icy conditions in the Atlanta area," the NBA announced.
