LONDON, ENGLAND, February 01, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Basketball fans will be in for a treat in March, as the NBA game New Jersey Nets vs Toronto Raptors is set to be played at London's O2 venue.

As they are league games, people can expect both sides to be pumped up and showing all the passion and skill that the NBA is known for.
Among the big names that attendees from nearby accommodation such as The Bloomsbury Hotel London may be looking out for are Devin Harris of the Nets and Alexis Ajinca of the Raptors.
