    Any idea why the Lakers/Jazz started before the Spurs/Suns even though both Lakers and Jazz wrapped up their series after Spurs and Suns first rounders? Sunday ratings?

    I like the Spurs having the extra day but then looking forward, the Lakes could have extra rest for the Spurs.

    only thing I can think of is ABC wanted Lakers on Sunday primetime.

    It's all about National TV ratings. Lakers draw, sadly the Spurs don't.

    That's the answer. ABC was going to have a doubleheader on Sunday that would be made of Game 7s and/or Game 1s depending on how everything played out. If Gasol didn't tip-in that shot then we would have seen Game 7 of the LA-OKC series in that time slot.
