It's Lakers Noche Latina night Tuesday
Tuesday is Noche Latina night for the Lakers as the Lakers face Memphis at Staples Center, and maybe a little something different can shake them out of their two-game losing streak doldrums.
The NBA is presenting the Noche Latina initiative this season in 10 markets with a sizable Latino population, including Los Angeles, as a way to appeal to a fast-growing fan base, according to the NBA.
During the Fox telecast, Noche Latina theme music will be played; there will be pregame and in-game features on the Lakers' Pau Gasol and the Grizzlies' Marc Gasol; interviews with Lakers Spanish language broadcasters Pepe Mantilla and Fernando Gonzalez; and a look at all the Spanish-speaking players in the NBA.
