I've used the free version of HandMark's Pocket Express for that the last couple of years, its great and gives you comprehensive news and pretty good weather for free too. Gives full stats and recaps after the game, and updates often enough that you can do pretty well keeping track of other games currently being played while watching one.
Pocket Express Delivers News, Weather, Sports, Stocks, 411 Lookups, Maps and Directions to Smartphones
