Game 6 was moved from an 8 p.m. tip to fit around the Hawks' game against Cleveland, which now starts at 8 p.m. It's only the second time two pro games have shared a day at State Farm Arena. Dream ownership called the slot "not what we fought for" in an open letter, Atlanta News First reported, and said it raised schedule concerns two months ago, WSB-TV reported.
