There is no better time than the present for sports fans to harken back to happier days and that’s exactly what TSN and Sportsnet plan to do starting this Friday.
With the seasons of all major league sports put on pause, the two networks are teaming up to re-broadcast last summer’s Toronto Raptors 24-game journey to the NBA Championship.
Starting Mar. 20 through Sunday, Apr. 12, Sportsnet and TSN will alternate coverage in prime time of the Raptors post-season showdowns against the Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks and Golden State Warriors. The games will also be made available on both networks’ streaming subscription services, TSN Direct and Sportsnet NOW.
