The Golden State Warriors hit another roadblock after their win against Indiana, as team plane issues arise before a scheduled clash against the New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden.
With Stephen Curry two three-pointers away from breaking Ray Allen's record, many fans are dying to witness history unfold. Hitting two three-pointers in a game seems like a walk in the park for the Warriors star. Besides, breaking the record in the world's most famous arena is an extravagant place for a grand milestone in Curry's career.
However, as the Warriors extend their stay in Indianapolis due to mechanical issues for their team plane, another difficult circumstance hits the team and Curry's chase for the record.
CBA is against players traveling on day of games. It isn’t prohibited but all avenues must be exhausted to avoid traveling and playing in the same day. With Knicks tomorrow, the Warriors’ routine is already discombobulated.

Playing in back-to-back games is difficult enough for most teams, but this additional hit to Golden State's schedule just ruins the logistics of their preparation against the Knicks.
Expectation is the Warriors will still play in NYC vs Knicks tomorrow, but this forces a fly-and-play on same day for Warriors. They tried to find a new plane to get out of Indianapolis but couldn’t. Morning flight. Quick turnaround for heavy minute veterans. https://t.co/OVjmFmvAMO

Warriors are scheduled for a 10 am flight out of Indianapolis tomorrow morning. Should land around noon. Tip in New York at 7:30 pm.

Despite the difficulties and issues arising due to late arrival, it seems that the 7:30 pm tip-off is a go. All the rest, recovery, and preparation that the Warriors usually get will undoubtedly be affected. Although they face a slumping Knicks team, this kind of situation can be challenging, mainly since players perform better when following the schedule during their road trips.
With everyone dying to witness Curry's record, can he showcase a classic performance in New York despite having a severe roadblock on the day itself? While everyone is eager for Curry's greatness to unfold, the priority is certainly the health and safety of all members of the Warriors' team and staff travelling to MSG.
