An NBA game got postponed, so players made do with Hennessy and cheesesteaks
The NBA matchup between the Sacramento Kings and host Philadelphia 76ers was postponed Wednesday night due to condensation on the court.
So what's a hooper to do? Well, a pair of Kings -- DeMarcus Cousins and Matt Barnes -- made the best of the situation with Philadelphia's most famous dish and a bottle of cognac.
Barnes shared a video on Snapchat of himself and Cousins with a cheesesteak and a bottle of Hennessy on Wednesday night after the game was postponed until a later date. Here's a look, via ForTheWin writer Alysha Tsuji.

That's an, um, animated looking Rudy Gay popping in at the end. Looks like good times.
Now, why was Wednesday night's game in Philly postponed?
The Philadelphia Flyers hosted an NHL game at the same arena the night before. The 76ers' hardwood basketball surface was then laid over the Flyers' ice hockey surface for Wednesday's game. That's not a particularly unusual move for NBA and NHL teams that play under the same roof.
But, per NBA.com, "Wednesday was an unseasonably warm, humid day for late November in Philadelphia, and it likely affected the surface."
Enter the cheesesteaks and Hennessy, as one does.
