Spurs @ Timberwolves (kinda)
Spurs and Wolves went south for the NBA's Global Games outreach, and a fire started in Mexico City Arena. Naturally, the game was postponed due to smoke in the building, and Twitter was all over it.
- No official word yet as to when or if tonight's game will get underway in Mexico City.
