At the end of the pre-season series on Saturday, coaches and players repeatedly expressed their thanks for the warm welcome they received from the knowledgeable and enthusiastic Chinese fans.

NBA basketball is now the most popular sports league in China and the potential for growth remains huge in a country with a population of 1.3 billion and a rapidly expanding economy.

"We've had a great time in China," said Magic star Dwight Howard. "The people are friendly and they love the game that we love."

Cavaliers coach Mike Brown added: "China have been flat-out outstanding hosts who have been a joy to be around."
