The Indiana Pacers were slated to travel to Oklahoma City on Tuesday in preparation for Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night. Mother Nature had other plans.
As inclement weather rippled across Oklahoma, the Pacers' plane had to be diverted from Oklahoma CIty to Tulsa due to tornado warnings, a team official told Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix. The plane circled OKC for a bit before heading to Tulsa to refuel. Nearly two hours later, they were finally able to land.
