TNT will air some exciting match-ups throughout the season, including opening day broadcasts on October 25 with the New York Knicks visiting the defending champ Cleveland Cavaliers at 8 p.m. ET and Kawhi Leonard and the San Antonio Spurs visiting the NBA Finals runner-up Golden Sate Warriors at 10:30 p.m. ET.
