NBA Stretch Run Comes Into Full Focus
From early afternoon to late at night, the NBA will be plastered on our televisions, computers, tablets and phones today. Gearing up for the season’s stretch run, there are four huge matchups on national TV. Elsewhere in the sports world, No. 6 Iowa hosts No. 2 Indiana in a massive women’s basketball matchup, and Chelsea squares off with Tottenham in the Premier League.
Here’s what I’m watching today.
