Tonight, the NBA’s Network of Record offers another Thursday night doubleheader, featuring three of the league’s marquee teams, the Lakers, Mavericks and Heat. That’s not slighting the Jazz at all, but they don’t have the recognition that the other three do.
Anyway, TNT will show the Los Angeles Lakers visiting South Florida to take on the Miami Heat. Then the defending champion Dallas Mavericks travel to Salt Lake City to take on the Utah Jazz.
Everything starts at 8 p.m. ET with NBA Tip-Off and it all ends sometime around 1 a.m. Friday with the critically-acclaimed Inside the NBA.
We have the TNT press release for you.
