NBA fans were recently treated to a big game between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers, which provided many fireworks and put an end to Cleveland’s historic winning streak.
In little more than a week, the teams will meet up again and millions of fans will be watching.
That was assured on Friday morning, when Evan Dammarell reported that the NBA had announced the December 1 match between the Celtics and Cavaliers will now air on NBA TV.
This is a sign of just how high stakes and hotly anticipated this game already is.

This is also a sign of how surprising this Cavaliers team is.
When the league wrote the schedule, they didn’t put Cleveland in many nationally televised games.
That is because they assumed the team would be good but not great and wouldn’t be receiving that much attention.
If they could rewrite the entire schedule, they would give the Cavs a lot more time on such a big stage.
That’s because the team is doing far better than anyone expected.
With a 16-1 record, they are the best team in the league and have only fallen to the Celtics.
Now they are looking to get their revenge and that is part of the reason why so many people want to witness this game.
While their last game against the Celtics was in Boston, December 1’s match will be in Cleveland, which will give the Cavaliers a big home crowd boost.
For a number of reasons, this is a must-watch game.
