What is the story about?
The
NBA season is in full swing, but the action takes a complete break Tuesday. Why, you may ask?
Well, it's because the NBA ceases operations on Election Day to encourage people to get out to the polls. It's the fourth time in five years the NBA has done this.
Election Day is one of a select few dates the NBA schedules no games on, including Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. Christmas, of course, has long been the biggest day on the NBA's regular-season calendar.
There you have it.
