The NBA Nailed It by Selecting Celtics-Warriors for Saturday Primetime
BOSTON – The NBA is pretty good at this Saturday Primetime thing.
Twenty-four weeks ago, when the league released its 2018-19 schedule, it hand-picked Saturday’s matchup between the Celtics and the Warriors to be broadcast as part of the Saturday Primetime series on ABC. Now a day ahead of the showdown, there’s no other game the NBA universe would rather watch.
And why would there be? Just go down the list of intriguing storylines heading into Saturday night.
Star power will be in full force when the opening tip is tossed. Both teams are at full health, meaning nine current or former All-Stars will play in the game.
