The second game of the series is schedule to take place on Thursday before Games 3 and 4 shift to the Staples Center for games on Saturday and Sunday. All times are Eastern.
Game 1 - Tuesday, May 15 at San Antonio, 9:30 p.m., TNT
Game 2 - Thursday, May 17 at San Antonio, 9:30 p.m., ESPN
Game 3 - Saturday, May 19 at Los Angeles, 3:30 p.m, ABC

Game 5 - Tuesday, May 22 at San Antonio, TBD on TNT
Game 6 - Friday, May 25 at Los Angeles, TBD on ESPN
Game 7 - Sunday, May 27 at San Antonio, TBD on TNT
It’s probably more important for the Clippers to strike first, showing the Spurs they won’t have as easy of a go as they did in the first round, making Tuesday night’s game pretty important when considering there’s potentially six more games left in the series afterward.
