Filed under: Nets, RaptorsLONDON (AP) -- Those high-flying slam dunks and long-distance 3-pointers are going to mean a lot more to the London crowd next year when the NBA plays its first regular-season games in Europe.
NBA commissioner David Stern announced Monday that the Toronto Raptors and New Jersey Nets will face each other on March 4 and 5 at the O2 Arena, the same venue that has hosted preseason games over the last several years.
"It's going to make basketball shine as a sport of passion, intensity, teamwork," Stern said in a conference call.
The NBA has been looking to expand overseas for years, and Stern has said in the past he would like to play a competitive game in London before the city hosts the Olympics in 2012. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Commentsgolf balls
