You Get Free Taco Bell, Thanks to Basketball

Sure, not everyone's a basketball fan, but it's almost certainly safe to say that everyone's a fan of free food. Well, now you can be fan of both -- at least for a minute -- thanks to the Golden State Warriors' win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday, June 10th -- an away team victory that triggered Taco Bell's deal for free tacos this month.

As part of its new “Steal a Game, Steal a Taco” promotion with the NBA, Taco Bell will give everyone in America a free Doritos Locos Taco on June 21st from 2pm to 6pm at participating T-Bell locations nationwide. Late last month, Taco Bell promised the free tacos if the away team wins, or as they put it steals, a game on the home team's court. 

Last year, Taco Bell offered a similar deal during the World Series that was triggered when someone stole a base, which makes way more sense than this year's "steal a game." Anyway, we would explain more, but at this point, who cares? Free tacos is all you need to know.
