CORAL GABLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 28, 1999--The strike is over, basketball season is back and you can look forward to an exhilarating NBA season on TV and on your home PC! Sega(R) NBA Action(tm) from Expert Software (Nasdaq:XPRT) lets you shoot and score with your favorite players from all 29 NBA teams.
