Sports, the sports arm of the premiere media and entertainment company in the
Philippines, is bringing the holiday tradition of airing NBA games everyday
once again on free TV. This year, it is headlined by the highly-anticipated Christmas
Day showdown between the Los Angeles Lakers and defending NBA champions Golden
State Warriors.
Before
this much-awaited showdown, Lebron James and the Lakers will play against the Houston
Rockets led by James Harden and Chris Paul as an appetizer on the 14th of
December airing live at 9:00 am on S+A, followed by the Washington Wizards
pitting against the Brooklyn Nets on December 15 at 8:30 am on ABS-CBN and the
Minnesota Timberwolves duking it out against the Phoenix Suns on the 16th of December
at 10 am on S+A.
Then,
on December 17, Filipino basketball fans will bear witness to the showdown between
the Eastern Conference's top team Toronto Raptors and third ranked Denver
Nuggets featuring their new star players Jamal Murray and Nikola Jovic. The
action continues with intriguing matchups of Philadelphia-San Antonio on
December 18, Cleveland-Indiana on December 19 and Memphis-Portland on December
20. On December 21, the "super rookie" Luka Doncic is set to showcase
his stuff as the Dallas Mavericks face the Los Angeles Clippers starting at 11:30

Atlanta-New
York on December 22 on ABS-CBN will follow suit, then there is Raptors taking
on 76ers on December 23 at 11:30 am and Minnesota versus Oklahoma City on Christmas
