NBA Playoffs 2017 Conference Finals: Where to Watch, What Time, What Channel
Well, that was quick.
The NBA Playoffs Conference Finals get an earlier-than-planned start due to the Golden State Warriors sweeping the Utah Jazz in the Western Conference Semifinals, and the San Antonio Spurs taking out the Houston Rockets in six games. Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals is moved two days earlier and will now be on Sunday, May 14, on ABC with the Spurs at the Warriors. The remaining games of the best-of-seven series will air on ESPN.
The reigning NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals beginning Wednesday, May 17, on TNT. The Cavs are well rested after a sweep of the Toronto Raptors in the conference semis. The Celtics needed seven games to dispatch the Washington Wizards.
