Postponed Spurs-Timberwolves game rescheduled

The Spurs and T-Wolves were originally due to play a game in Mexico City on December 4, which was postponed on account of a fire in the arena. The rematch will be on April 8, making it one of the last games of the regular season.

While the original matchup south of the border was technically a "home game" for Minnesota, this game will be played in the decidedly more Minnesota-like surrounds of Minneapolis.

Here's the official press release from Spurs.com.

SAN ANTONIO (Jan. 6, 2014) - The National Basketball Association today announced that the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves game, originally scheduled for Dec. 4, in Mexico City, has been rescheduled for Tuesday, April 8, at 7 p.m. CT and will now be played at the Target Center in Minneapolis.

The contest will be televised locally by Fox Sports Southwest and can be heard on WOAI 1200-AM and KCOR 1350-AM in Spanish
