Due to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the New York Knicks-Brooklyn Nets game has been canceled. It had been scheduled to start after 7 p.m. ET and air on TNT. However, as the conditions in New York have not improved, the NBA made the right decision to cancel the game. So TNT will air two episodes of The Mentalist followed by a half-hour of NBA Tip-Off at 9 p.m. That will be followed by the originally scheduled late game of the NBA on TNT doubleheader, Oklahoma City at San Antonio.
Kevin Harlan, Reggie Miller and David Aldridge will be on hand for the game.
Here’s the revised schedule for Thursday night.
