NBA locale (4)
I believe the answer is:
utah
'nba locale' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for utah that I've seen before include "Brigham Young state" , "Great Salt Lake state" , "State of the union" , "The "Beehive" State, capital Salt Lake City" , "A hut for the Mormons, oddly" .)
