ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Nov. 11, 2009 - The Albuquerque Thunderbirds announced today that they will be hosting an exhibition game on Nov. 25 at Tingley Coliseum. The Thunderbirds will tip off against the Los Angeles D-Fenders, affiliate for the reigning NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers, at 6:00 p.m.
"To play a team like Los Angeles is special," said head coach John Coffino. "They did a good job in the draft, and it will be a great first test to see where we are after camp. I'm looking forward to a hard fought game and getting our season underway."
