On the eve of the N.B.A. playoffs, Commissioner Adam Silver relayed the news that business was good in the wake of two days of meetings by the league’s Board of Governors at a Manhattan hotel.
He noted how the league had a set an attendance record, with nearly 21.9 million people filling arenas during the regular season. The league, he said, had also broken a 20-year-old record for games that were sellouts, with 700 this season. In addition, the owners at the meetings reviewed new arena plans for the Golden State Warriors, the Sacramento Kings and the Milwaukee Bucks — and all of those talks went swimmingly, according to the commissioner.
