NBA Eastern Conference Final Game May Be Moved Up A Day

If the Bulls win tonight's Game Six against the Hawks to finish the series, Game One of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals "would need to be moved from Monday to Sunday night because the United Center likely is unavailable Monday to allow Oprah Winfrey's crew to set up for the taping of one of her final shows." The NBA on Tuesday "informed a few involved parties" that the change would need to be made if the Bulls and Heat win their series in less than six games; the Heat last night eliminated the Celtics in Game Five. If the Bulls-Hawks series goes seven games, Game One of the Eastern Finals would be Wednesday (MIAMI HERALD, 5/11).
