The vast majority is 9pm though
2016, 2017, etc. Most were 9pm, occasionally 8pm.
Sitting here watching a Stanley Cup match that started at 8. World Series starts at 8, Super Bowl starts at 6:30, NCAA title game starts at 8. Yet for some reason the NBA can’t manage to put on a game before 9 and on a day where people don’t have to go to work in the morning. Guess they don’t want the youth watching their games for some reason.
