Music Question--Opening Tip

My 7 year old son is obsessed with knowing the song they play at tip-off during every home game. Does anyone know what song it is? No lyrics, just music...

Thank you!
 
Could it be Start Me Up by the Rolling Stones? I've been to two games this year, the most recent one was Memphis a couple of weeks ago. I must admit I'm drawing a blank when thinking about the question, but something tells me that might be it, because I'm pretty sure I heard the song at the arena and the start of the game would be the logical place to use it.
 
Oh my gosh I can't believe nobody's answered this one!

Not sure if it's true for opening tip, but for just about EVERY jump ball they play "Jump" by Van Halen. Just a fantastic song.

Here it is, have your son let me know it it's the one he's thinking of:

 
OP says it's NO lyrics - just music at the tip. Maybe this is the one used during Kings opening night 2013. The song (what ever it is - techno?) begins at around 7 1/2 minute mark of the vid.

BTW, I get the chills watching this every time...

Well, I can't pull back by memory what they usually play, but I don't think that's the regular song. I'll try to pay attention and see if it can be heard during the broadcast tomorrow.

They use that for other jumpball situations, but not for the opening tip

Just checked out the Clippers game for reference. It is indeed whatever it is they're playing here ... now the problem is identifying what that track is.
 
While we're on the subject of music and songs associated with Kings games, what's the name of the song that they play on the telecasts after timeouts..going into commercial, that has "woo hoo woo hoo" in it?
