NBA Considering Moving Up Finals To June 2nd If Both Series Are Sweeps

The NBA is exploring the possibility of moving up the start of the NBA Finals to June 2nd if the Conference Finals both end in sweeps.

The Golden State Warriors are up 3-0 against the Houston Rockets, while the Cleveland Cavaliers are up 2-0 against the Atlanta Hawks before Game 3.

The Finals are scheduled to start on June 4th.

There are no scheduled events at either Oracle Arena or Quicken Loans Arena that would make changing the start date of the Finals problematic from a building perspective. But network TV scheduling, hotel inventory in both cities and international travel loom large as obstacles to changing the scheduled start date.
