The NBA released two schedules for the Western Conference Finals- one of the Spurs/Timberwolves series ends on Friday at the conclusion of Game 6, another if the series heads back to San Antonio for Game 7.
If the Spurs close out the series tonight in Minnesota, they’ll head to Oklahoma
City to play Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Monday, May 18. From there, the series will take place every other day (the even dates) fro the remainder of May.
May 18 and May 20 in Oklahoma City, May 22 and 24 in San Antonio. If Games 5, 6 and 7 are necessary, they will take place on May 26 on OKC, May 28 in San Antonio, and May 30 to close out in Oklahoma’s state capital.
If the Spurs and Timberwolves require a Game 7, that will take place on Sunday, May 17th. The winner will then face the Thunder on May 20 and 22 in Oklahoma City before hosting games 3 and 4 on May 24 and 26 respectively. Games 5, 6, and 7 could take place as needed on May 28, 30, and June 1.
The Eastern Conference is facing the same conditions based on whether the Cavaliers or Pistons win Game 6 tomorrow.
The NBA Finals have already been determined and will start with Game 1 on June 3rd, Game 2 on June 5, Game 3 on June 8 and Game 4 on June 10. If Games 5, 6, an 7 are needed, they will take place on June 13, 16, and 19.
Quite a month of basketball still to go, with the stakes getting higher every moment.
Two elimination games tonight, but only one that will have Pounders chanting “Go, Spurs, Go!”
