The National Basketball Association (NBA) has announced the postponement of the highly anticipated matchup between the Houston Rockets and the Atlanta Hawks, originally scheduled for January 11, 2025, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The decision is due to a severe winter storm that has brought hazardous conditions to the region.
