The Giants kicked off their season this past weekend in Georgia where the returning champions defeated the Georgia Gwizzlies 172-98 and the Southwest Warriors 173-101. The team is making a run at their third consecutive national championship and continuing the Giants' effort at bringing the NBA D-League to Jacksonville.
The Giants home opener is at 7:00 P.M. on December 6, 2013 at the Veteran's Memorial Arena. Following the ABA championship ring and banner ceremony, the Giants will play their division rival, the Birmingham Blitz. The Giants took both games last year against the Blitz, and one was a closely fought match down to the final minutes.
Single game business appreciation packages are available for purchase.
