The Philips Arena roof is leaking during Hawks-Mavs to Atlanta snow

Snow in the Atlanta area has caused a leak to spring in the Philips Arena roof during Hawks vs. Mavs:

Of course, you can’t play with water leaking on the floor, because dudes will slip and get hurt. Shoutout to that garbage can. At least the Hawks’ twitter account had fun with the roof leak:

It’s been a weird day in Atlanta. Players thought that the game had been cancelled, and the Hawks told employees to stay home. But all of a sudden, the game was on -- albeit with few concessions stands and fans allowed to bring outside food, since workers were told earlier in the day to stay home.

This isn’t the NBA’s first rain delay -- just last year, the Nets had to delay a game against the Heat due to a leaky roof.
