TNT Ends The 2011-12 NBA Regular Season With Another Thursday Night Doubleheader

TNT had the very first game of the regular season on Christmas Day and now will have the final two regular season games with its usual doubleheader on Thursday night. It will have a rather weak game in the opener, the Knicks taking on the lowly Charlotte Bobcats followed by another weak game in the nightcap, San Antonio at Golden State.

We have the games and announcing assignments for you below. Check it all out in the Turner Sports press release below.
