Tencent Holdings Ltd. live-streamed two National Basketball Association games played outside of China Monday, even as the nation's top broadcaster shuns the league because of a controversy around Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement. The Chinese social media giant aired a game between the Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors and another between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Minnesota Timberwolves, according to its official program. That's despite the WeChat operator last week freezing broadcasts of two pre-season games played in China: a pair of high-profile match-ups between the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets in Shanghai and Shenzhen last week.
