In the 2025 NBA playoffs, every game will be broadcast to a nationwide audience by one of the league's national television partners.
But for first-round series, with the lone exception of ABC exclusives, games can also be broadcast by each team's regional sports network (RSN).
For the Rockets, that's Space City Home Network (SCHN), which the organization jointly runs with Major League Baseball's Houston Astros. SCHN is available on distribution platforms including DirecTV, Xfinity, AT&T U-verse, and fuboTV (free trial).
So, in the case of Sunday night's Game 1 between the Rockets and Golden State Warriors, fans have the option of watching either the national feed on TNT or the local feed on SCHN.
