24-25 Schedule

Appearance

Flight Paths ​

Several of our flight paths seem uncommon this season.

November ​

Our road trip in early November ends with a relatively uncommon back-to-back.

Note

This week-long road trip contains two separate back-to-backs:

  • Nov 1 vs OKC and Nov 2 @ PHX
  • Nov 7 @ SAS and Nov 8 @ MIN

Closer Look

A closer look at the elusive San Antonio ⇢ Minnesota back-to-back (Nov 7 and Nov 8).

  • San Antonio ⇢ Minneapolis is 1,100 miles.
  • This is the 2nd longest road back-to-back for any team this season.

Historical Context

Since 2015-16...

  • Only one other team has played a San Antonio ⇢ Minnesota road back-to-back.
  • There are only 31 instances of an 1,100+ mile road back-to-back (out of nearly 12,000 games).
  • Note: this also marks the 2nd longest road back-to-back for any team this season.

February to March ​

After traversing the Northeast in late February and early March, we have a quick reprieve with a home/away back-to-back (Mar 9 vs DET and Mar 10 @ GSW).

Note

One could argue this 7-game road trip is actually a 9-game road trip.

Note

This 7-game road trip "ends" (Mar 7 @ OKC) with a "home"/away back-to-back.

  • Mar 9 vs DET and Mar 10 @ GSW
  • Portland ⇢ San Francisco is 500 miles.

March to April ​

The end of March includes an interesting East Coast road trip.

Historical Context

  • In 15-16, Portland traveled New York ⇢ Boston ⇢ Toronto.
  • In 16-17, Minnesota traveled New York ⇢ Charlotte ⇢ Toronto.
  • In 18-19, Portland traveled Brooklyn ⇢ Philadelphia ⇢ Cleveland ⇢ Boston ⇢ Toronto.

  • In 21-22, Golden State traveled New York ⇢ Boston ⇢ Toronto.
  • In 22-23, Sacramento traveled New York ⇢ Philadelphia ⇢ Toronto.

Innovative Scheduling

Since 15-16, this marks the first recorded New York ⇢ Atlanta ⇢ Toronto travel route for a Western Conference team.

  • New York ⇢ Atlanta ⇢ Toronto is 1,500 miles.

  • New York ⇢ Toronto is 350 miles.

Note

This trip also includes an international back-to-back: Apr 3 @ TOR and Apr 4 @ CHI.
