LONDON (AP) — Big Ben and Buckingham Palace had to take a back seat to Stamford Bridge and Emirates Stadium when the Chicago Bulls and Utah Jazz arrived in London.
The two NBA teams will play each other in a preseason game at the O2 Arena on Tuesday, but several players were still giddy about seeing a Premier League football match on Sunday.
Bulls rookie Taj Gibson said of Arsenal's 6-2 win over Blackburn: "Extremely exciting game to watch. We got a taste of overseas, how they love their football."
The British public also has shown how they like basketball, with the arena expected to be sold out for the third straight year.
