You can’t get any better than having three Games 7 on one network like today. The NBA’s Network of Record, TNT has all three Conference Quarterfinal Games 7 starting at 5:30 p.m. ET and action will last through early Sunday morning on the East Coast.
It all begins with Atlanta at Indiana followed by Memphis at Oklahoma City and it all culminates with Golden State at the Los Angeles Clippers.
It’s like the old NBA on NBC tripleheader Sundays, but the Peacock would do it beginning at 12:30 p.m. then games at 3 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
TNT will have games at 5:30 p.m., 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. and these games should do rather well in the ratings especially the Clippers game.
Brian Anderson, Greg Anthony and Molly Sullivan will be in Indianapolis. Marv Albert, Steve Kerr and Lewis Johnson will be stationed in Oklahoma City with Kevin Harlan, Reggie Miller and David Aldridge in Los Angeles.
Here is what Turner Sports is saying about this rare Game 7 tripleheader.
