Wolves-Blazers postponed

Wolves-Blazers game, scheduled for Monday night, was postponed due to slick court, because of the warm weather in early March.

The problem was caused by condensation from an ice sheet underneath it and outside humidity on a day in which temperatures reached the mid-60s.

"I'd like to apologize to our fans and certainly to the Trail Blazers," Timberwolves president and coach Tom Thibodeau said shortly after the game was postponed. "Obviously the safety of the players has to come first. It's unfortunate, but it's the right thing to do."

It was the second time this season that a game had to be postponed because of a slippery court. The game between the Kings and 76ers in Philadelphia was postponed on Nov. 30. A makeup date will be announced in the coming days.

The ice sheet was recently laid under the court to accommodate a Disney On Ice production last weekend and the upcoming National Collegiate Hockey Conference tournament. The NCHC sent a tongue-in-cheek tweet to the Timberwolves that read "Sorry guys!" and included a gif of Steve Urkel's famous "Did I do that?" line from the television show "Family Matters."
