The Houston Rockets settled on taking a passenger ferry across the San Francisco Bay to play the Warriors on Wednesday evening due to the closure of the Bay Bridge.

“Trevor Ariza said, ‘Are you kidding me?’ ” Rockets trainer Keith Jones said. “Tracy McGrady was laughing. It will be a new experience, but they will enjoy it.”

Teams staying in San Francisco typically need 30-45 minutes to make the trip to Oakland by charter bus, but the Bay Bridge has been closed for emergency repairs.
