NBA LONDON LIVE: DETROIT PISTONS VS. NEW YORK KNICKS
Industry: Events       

London hotels close to O2 Arena announce discounts for match night.

(TRAVPR.COM) UK - January 17th, 2013 - This month, the O2 Arena will play host to an NBA game between the Detroit Pistons and the New York Knicks. Part of the NBA London Live series, it will be the third time in three seasons that the capital has hosted an NBA game, following 2010's back-to-back matches between the Toronto Raptors and the New Jersey Nets (now the Brooklyn Nets).

The Pistons are playing their debut game on European soil, and new coach Lawrence Frank hopes to take his young side to London and beat two-time NBA winners the Knicks, who boast prolific scorers Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler – both Olympic gold medallists at the 2012 Games - among their squad.

The contest is the 17th NBA regular-season game played outside of the US and Canada. Only the third match in Europe, most regular-season games played outside of North America take place in Japan or Mexico.

NBA TV will televise the game, which begins at 8pm GMT (3pm EST) on January 17th. The O2 Arena opens at 6.30pm, with tickets ranging from £35-£500. Tickets are available via LondonTown.com. The website has also announced discounts on selected London hotels, including several in convenient proximity to the O2 Arena on the night of the match, so travelling basketball fans can stay in the capital without spending too much.
