NBA fans react to jarring jerseys, court designs for inaugural in-season tournament

The NBA's inaugural in-season tournament tipped off Friday night with teams wearing their NBA City Edition jerseys. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Indiana Pacers played one of the first games of the night in Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Ind.

For the tournament, teams are rolling out new designs for their home courts. The Pacers' court at Gainbridge Fieldhouse swapped the typical brown hardwood color for bright blue and yellow to complement the team's city jerseys.
