The NBA has had a schedule problem for many seasons, but this year, it finally addressed it.
In recent years, the NBA schedule was full of teams with obscenely large travel schedules, back-to-back games and three games in four nights. It became too much and teams began resting their players during some of these road trips and back-to-backs.
What did that create? Well, take for example the March 11, 2017, game between the Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs, which was broadcast in primetime on ABC.
