To help you get through any last minute tax filing you have to do on Tuesday, TNT will air a special NBA doubleheader tomorrow night.
The early game will have the Atlantic Division-leading Boston Celtics traveling to MSG to take on the New York Knicks and the late game will see the Southwest Division-leading San Antonio Spurs squaring off against the Pacific Division-leading Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center.
And this does not take the place of TNT’s regular Thursday night doubleheader. It means you have two doubleheaders on the NBA’s network of record this week which is a good thing for fans of TNT’s coverage and NBA fans in general.
Here’s the Turner Sports press release.
