NBA TV TO RE-BROADCAST IDAHO-MAINE MATCHUP FROM DECEMBER 16 ON CHRISTMAS DAY
The Maine Red Claws, presented by Quirk Chevrolet, announced that NBA TV has selected the Red Claws' Dec. 16 game vs. the Idaho Stampede to be broadcast nationally on Christmas Day. The rebroadcast will air at 1 p.m. (ET). The much-hyped game between the Red Claws and Stampede garnered significant national, regional and local media coverage with the return of former Boston Celtics star Antoine Walker to New England. The NBA All-Star had his best game of the season, only to have his Stampede squad shut down by the young and hungry Red Claws in one of the team's most exciting games of the year.
