schedule question

How does this work? The Celtics played the Hawks in Atlanta last night, Friday, Nov. 23rd, and then must travel to Dallas to play the Mavericks the very next night, Saturday, Nov.24th. Do they make the 2-hour flight from Atlanta to Dallas immediately following the game, or do they wait and take a day time flight the next day arriving in Dallas with the game that night?

I believe that they travel after the game so they can sleep and wake up in the same time zone as the next game.

Here's some interesting articles about traveling in the NBA.
