The NBA Game Time app has been added to Xbox Live, giving Gold subscribers access to the popular American league just in time for the 2013 season tip off today.

The app offers daily highlights from around the league, up-to-the-minute player and team stats, a favourite team function, a guide to the day’s games, and full voice and gesture control.

Those subscribed to NBA.com League Pass Broadband can catch every live regular season game in HD via the NBA Game Time app, and even watch two games at once (including replays) via the app’s split screen function.
