MUMBAI: For the second consecutive season, the NBA will schedule a weekly game for live primetime broadcast in India every Sunday evening on SONY TEN 1.  In conjunction with the primetime games, the NBA has launched a video campaign which highlights the differences of watching and enjoying the game in the morning and at primetime.

The film features the journey of a fan who usually starts off watching the game alone on his couch with a cup of coffee however during NBA Primetime Sundays, given the evening time band, his experience of watching the game changes where he is seen in his stylish sneakers and apparel, cheering for his teams with friends at a local bar.  The video captures the joy of a fan being able to watch NBA Games at primetime along with game highlights from the season.
