If the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals, LeBron James will reach his eighth straight NBA Finals

Quick finishes to the NBA Conference Semifinals series means the Conference Finals get an earlier-than-expected start.

In a rematch of the 2017 East Finals, LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers go up against Jayson Tatum, Al Horford and the Boston Celtics.

Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors will take on James Harden, Chris Paul and the Houston Rockets in a Western Conference Finals series that seemed destined from the start of the season.

The East Finals tip off Sunday, May 13, on ABC. The remaining games of the series will air on ESPN.

TNT’s exclusive coverage of the Western Conference Finals begins Monday, May 14.
