NBA News - TNT's NBA studio group to assemble first diversion on Christmas

Turner Sports says its "Inside the NBA" studio group will call a Christmas night diversion in Los Angeles alongside its other common obligations. 

Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson will be at Staples Center for the Lakers' diversion against the Minnesota Timberwolves. They will call the nightcap of the group's five-diversion occasion plan for expansion to their standard pregame, halftime and postgame scope.

Turner said Thursday it will be the first live game the team has called together.

Reporter Kristen Ledlow also will contribute to the telecast.
