A power outage issue had threatened tonight’s Magic at Pelicans game. But all wound up being okay. Here’s the New Orleans Times Picayune:
Wednesday’s game between the New Orleans Pelicans and Orlando Magic appears to no longer be in danger of postponement.
Less than three hours before tipoff, power was restored at Smoothie King Center after an hours-long outage.
The power outage, which appeared to be caused by a bird flying into a substation, City Council President Helena Moreno said, affected more than 10,000 Entergy customers. Parts of downtown, the Central Business District, Treme, Mid-City and Central City were all left without power…
Full power was restored to the arena at around 4:24 p.m. on Wednesday.
