A league-high 12 Lynx games on NBA TV this season
Posted by: Roman Augustoviz under Lynx Updated: May 16, 2012 - 6:26 PM
The Lynx, the defending WNBA champions, will be on NBA TV a league-high 12 times this season.
All 12 WNBA teams are on NBA TV at least four times.
NBA TV's schedule will start with Los Angeles at Seattle at 9 p.m. on Friday. Before that, the 30-minute WNBA Preview Show will air at 5 p.m. Host Larry Smith and analyst LaChina Robinson will discuss both conferences and the Lynx's chances of repeating as league champions.
NBA TV appearances this season (an earlier blog had the Lynx with nine games and other teams with fewer games, too, because it was based on an incomplete NBA TV schedule):
12: Lynx, seven games at home games, five on road
10: San Antonio, Washington
Nine: Indiana, Los Angeles
Eight: New York, Phoenix
Six: Atlanta, Chicago
Four: Connecticut, Seattle, Tulsa
