I didn't see the game but I do know we are having unusually warm  weather here in MA.  It was around 70 yesterday with very high humidity.  In the evening and through the night we had very heavy rains.  I also heard that the NBA called the Celtics game being played in Worcester in the middle due to a slippery floor.  I think the poor ice and slippery floor were caused by the weather and unless you keep the doors closed for hours you won't be able to control the interior atmosphere well enough.
