PHILADELPHIA -- A scheduled game between the Sacramento Kings and Philadelphia 76ers was postponed Wednesday night by the NBA because of condensation on the court at the Wells Fargo Center.The game, which was slated to start at 7 p.m., was called off at 8:03 p.m. A makeup date was not immediately announced.The Philadelphia Flyers hosted an NHL game at the arena Tuesday night and the ice surface remained under the basketball court -- standard procedure at the Wells Fargo Center. However, Wednesday was an unseasonably warm, humid day for late November in Philadelphia, and it likely affected the surface.With our ice surface, sometimes humidity is our biggest opponent when we prepare for a game, said John Page, president of the Wells Fargo Center complex. Weve never had an issue before, but we need to make sure we dont have this issue again.Sacramento center DeMarcus Cousins said players noticed the court was slippery at Wednesday mornings shoot around. By pregame warmups, the problem had worsened.It was pretty bad, Cousins said. Ive never seen anything like that before.Cousins joined the fruitless effort to prepare the court, pushing around a pair of mops during the delay. He entered averaging 35.3 points in his last four games and was disappointed the contest was postponed.Guys go through their ritual, guys prepare for their games and, like that, theyre telling us were not playing; its kind of disappointing, he said. Im kind of glad it did go this way. Player safety should be considered first. I think they made the right decision.Sacramento announced the postponement on Twitter and razzed the 76ers, saying yall can trust the process but not the floor? Smh (shake my head), (at)Sixers.Fans booed when the postponement was announced. 76ers CEO Scott ONeil said tickets to Wednesdays contest would be valid for the makeup game, and fans in attendance also would get an additional ticket to another game -- either Dec. 5 vs. Denver, Dec. 14 vs. Toronto or Dec. 18 vs. Brooklyn -- plus a rebate on parking.I know this is a tremendous inconvenience to the fans, so I certainly apologize on behalf of the organization, ONeil said.Its the first postponement in the NBA since the league called off two games on Jan. 23 -- Philadelphia at Boston and Utah at Washington -- because of a winter storm. At least one game has been postponed in six of the past seven seasons.UP NEXTKings: At Boston on Friday night.76ers: Host Orlando on Friday night.Vapormax Schwarz Deutschland .

The game started the same way the Vancouver game started the night before, with the Jets taking the first two penalties of the game and killing off the first, but the Oilers getting on the board first, scoring on the second man-advantage.Black soil means slow turn The pitch at Chepauk for this game is made of black soil and therefore it should be expected to get slower as the match progresses. The square at Chepauk has two different kinds of pitches - a couple with red soil and a few with black soil. The former is used whenever a rank turner is the requirement (mostly in Ranji games) and the latter for a typical Indian surface that turns but not viciously. The toss is important but not as important as it was at Wankhede - where England managed to squander that advantage.Importance of the full ball The new SG ball rarely swings and theres little lateral movement off the pitch in India. The only thing a fast bowler plays with is the marginal change of lines and length, and the early skepticism of openers. In the sixth over, Ishant Sharma bowled a full, wide ball luring Keaton Jennings into a big booming drive. Openers are so focused on balls pitching in the good-length area that, at times, they are caught unawares by the full ball. In any case, Jennings weight is on the back foot in the initial stages of his innings and is therefore always a little late on his shots.Root starts where he left off in Mumbai Batting is a lot about the mind space that youre in and Joe Root has shown how it dictates your response. Root wasnt a happy sweeper in the early part of this Test series, definitely not in the early part of the innings but it changed in the second innings of the fourth Test. The pitch at Wankhede forced Root to sweep right from the beginning, for that was the only way to survive on a wilting pitch. In Chepauk, he picked up where left off in Mumbai, sweeping Ravindra Jadeja and Amit Mishra fairly early in his innings. It must be said that the first-day pitch at Chepauk isnt half as alarming, although, in the end, Root was dismissed sweeping at Jadeja.Ashwins drift and dip The first ball of the 27th over, bowled by Ravichandran Ashwin, drifted away in the air and went straight on with the arm, to which Root defended on the front foot.dddddddddddd The following ball drifted in to which Root stepped out, only to see it dipping a foot shorter. These two deliveries showcased the deception Ashwin creates in the air.Tough call The idea of staying with the umpires call on DRS is to discourage players from marginal reviews and to maintain the sanctity of the on-field umpire. To an extent, its also an acknowledgment of technology not being 100% accurate. While this does make sense, one wonders why the team should be penalised for it. Mishra appealed for a leg-before against Moeen Ali and, while the ball hit the pads in front of the wicket, Hawk-Eyes projection showed that it would have just clipped leg stump instead of hitting it fully. Now, that cant be considered a bad review and therefore it is a little unfair to penalise India for it, as losing a review might mean an umpiring howler later in the innings going uncorrected.Bairstows driving lesson Jonny Bairstow played an English shot on an Indian pitch. He tried to drive one on the up and hit it straight to the fielder placed for the catch in the covers. If you want to play along the ground off the front foot, you must get to the pitch of the ball, because every now and then it will either stop or turn more than expected. Moeen played in an almost identical manner but fortunately none of his shots went close to the India fielders.(Lack of) bouncers to Moeen Ishant dimissed Moeen with a bouncer at Lords in 2014. Mohammed Shami dismissed Moeen with a bouncer in Mohali two weeks ago. Considering these facts you are almost sure that there will be bouncers the moment he walks out to bat. Therefore it was surprising to see so few bowled to him on the first day of the Chennai Test. ' ' '
