Fewer delays on replays, but ref will have final word

The NBA got an assist from the NHL in developing its new replay center in Secaucus, New Jersey.

"We had our basketball operations people go up to Toronto to visit the National Hockey League's video war room and have extensive conversations with them; we also talked to Major League Baseball about their replay procedures," NBA commissioner Adam Silver said during an abbreviated visit to Beijing last week.

"The replay center is a brand new concept for our league, which we're going to be implementing during the preseason for the first time. We're very excited about it because I think it will lead to more accurate officiating."
