Washington Snowstorm Forces Hawks, Wizards to Postpone Game

A storm is expected to drop a record two and a half feet of snow on the Washington, DC area today, which is more than enough to ground air traffic and make flying into the area an impossibility. As a result, Saturday night's game between the Wizards and the Hawks that was scheduled to take place at the Verizon Center has been postponed.

The Wizards played in Orlando on Friday and the Hawks were at home in Atlanta, and neither team was going to be able to make it into the DC area in time for tonight's game. A make-up date for the contest has not yet been set.

The last time an NBA game was postponed because of the weather was on Jan. 13, 2007, when the Hornets' flight was unable to make it to Milwaukee in time for a game against the Bucks.
