Knicks vs. Spurs Game 3 is scheduled for Monday, June 8, at 8:30 p.m. ET, with the NBA Finals moving to New York after two games in San Antonio. ABC is the main TV channel for the Finals broadcast, and NBA.com also lists ESPN for Game 3.
The matchup is San Antonio at New York. NBA.com lists Game 3 for 8:30 p.m. ET, and ABC’s Finals page lists the game live Monday night on ABC and ABC.com.
The game is being played at Madison Square Garden in New York, according to the Ticketmaster event listing for Game 3.
New York leads the best-of-seven series 2-0. NBA.com lists Game 1 as Knicks 105, Spurs 95, and Game 2 as Knicks 105, Spurs 104.
That makes Game 3 the first game of the series in New York. San Antonio needs a road win to cut the deficit, while the Knicks can move within one win of the championship with a Game 3 victory.
Viewers looking for the simplest TV answer should start with ABC. ABC says the NBA Finals air live on ABC, and its Game 3 listing points viewers to ABC.com for the livestream.
The NBA’s official broadcast release also says all Finals games are available to stream on the ESPN App. ABC notes that its livestream requires a participating TV provider account, so viewers streaming through ABC.com should check sign-in access before tipoff.
The schedule is set through Game 7, but Games 5, 6 and 7 will only be played if necessary. Game 4 is already scheduled for Wednesday, June 10, at 8:30 p.m. ET in New York.
Once Game 3 starts, the main update becomes the live score and game status. After the final buzzer, NBA.com and broadcaster listings will determine the updated series status and remaining schedule.
