NBA working overtime on Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Christmas and Martin Luther King Jr. Day are the two best days of the year to be an NBA fan.

While much of the nation takes Monday off to honor the civil rights icon, the NBA honors King by working overtime with a 12-hour, nine-game marathon.

The action begins at 1 p.m. with the Atlanta Hawks vs. the New York Knicks and will end after midnight with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Clippers tipping off at 10:30 p.m.

The headliner is the much-hyped 8 p.m. rematch between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors.
