Makes you wonder why they just couldn't do that in the first place.
Game 4 of the Western Conference playoff series between the Los Angeles Clippers and San Antonio Spurs, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Staples Center, would be moved to Monday if the hockey game between the Los Angeles Kings and Phoenix Coyotes, scheduled earlier in the day at the arena, goes multiple overtime periods and delays the start of the NBA game too much, an NBA spokesman told ESPNLosAngeles.com.
Staples Center is in the midst of a dizzying run of hosting six playoff games in four days. The final stage of the Amgen Tour of California is set to finish in front of the building Sunday morning, just 30 minutes before the start of the Kings game.

lol hockey? hockey
Don't worry. You won't need it again for the Clips to use after game 4.
aka Stay of Execution.
Exactly. If that's an option, just move it.
My guess is that both media and teams prefer an LA/LA back to back for games 3 and 4 over an LA/SA back to back for games 4 and 5.
TV contracts, Sunday prime time is bigger audience than a weeknight.
Ain't no NFL-type market for "Monday Night Basketball".
How about moving up the hockey game an hour to 11pm pacific time?
Move it to monday. We are rested and ready.
moving it to monday would make sweep more important, because OKC has chance of finishing off Lakers on Monday.
I think this is why it wasn't really an option. They NBA doesn't want OKC/LAL finishg their fifth game while the Spurs finish their fourth.
