SAN ANTONIO — Almost nothing was routine about Sunday’s game between the Magic and Spurs at Frost Bank Center.
A game originally scheduled for 4 p.m., it was pushed back not once but twice over the course of a day before it ultimately tipped off at 9 p.m. (or 8 p.m. Central) after San Antonio was stranded Saturday night in Charlotte because of winter weather and had to divert to Atlanta on Sunday morning due to equipment problems.
And as the Spurs traveled the day of the game and arrived home fewer than five hours before stepping on the court, Orlando could do nothing but wait in its hotel with uncertainty about whether or the not game would take place.
