Interactive NBA telecast planned Thursday with TNT studio crew

TNT and NBA Digital will team up at 7 p.m. Thursday for a special interactive edition of TNT NBA Thursday, integrating TNT, NBA TV and NBA.com.

 TNT’s Emmy-Award winning studio team of Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith will call the Miami Heat at Chicago Bulls game.

A camera will be focused on the crew throughout the game and, for the first time, fans will get live commentary from the trio during select commercial breaks. Smith also will provide a running Twitter commentary from courtside.

Fans also will vote online each quarter to select for one player each from the Bulls and Heat to be the focus of an isolated camera.

NBA TV’s Matt Winer, Kevin McHale and Chris Webber will provide studio coverage from Atlanta.

The second game will feature Dallas at Portland at 9:30 p.m. with announcers Marv Albert, Mike Fratello and David Aldridge.
