The NBA franchise showed off its new multimedia analytic board Tuesday, a giant screen that stretches 37 metres long and three metres high on a wall alongside one of its practice courts at the OVO Athletic Centre.
Comprised of 448 video boards, the massive screen — which required a steel beam to be installed for support — is able to show game or practice footage as well as next-level stats.
