The Celtics have been forced to extend their West Coast road trip another day.

They will stay in Sacramento until Wednesday because of a winter storm that has traveled across the country this week.

"It seems like we've had travel problems the whole trip. Now we can't get home," coach Doc Rivers said. "I told them before the game, 'Focus on the game, and we'll worry about the other stuff later.' "

The Celtics defeated the Kings on Tuesday night. They thought about traveling at least part of the way back East, but Rivers decided that his team needed some rest.

"We would have preferred to go further East, just so we can get closer to our time zone," Rivers said. "At the end of the day, we just need rest. So I told them let's just stay."

They don't play again until Friday when the Mavericks travel to Boston.
