Maybe bad weather was forecast for the next morning, and I would think that its not unreasonable for teams to leave for a destination/arrive at a destination less than 24h ahead of them playing a game.
Thought the same thing. They played in Nashville at 8pm.

Philadelphia:
High: 57°
Low: 32°
Precip: 0 in
Snow: 0 in

Nashville:
High: 47°
Low: 37°
Precip: 0.05 in
Snow: 0 in
Comment: An afternoon shower

Seems fine to me. More than likely it was negligence or incompetence wanting to take advantage of the extra day to avoid travelling on game day.
