Atlanta Dream Ownership Criticizes WNBA Over Finals Game Schedule Shift
The Atlanta Dream ownership group has publicly criticized the WNBA following a decision to move Game 6 of the WNBA Finals from its original 8:00 p.m. ET slot to 12:30 p.m. ET on Thursday. The scheduling change was implemented to accommodate an Atlanta Hawks NBA game scheduled for later that evening at State Farm Arena. The Dream's owners stated they had raised concerns regarding potential conflicts with NBA schedules two months prior, suggesting the league may have underestimated the team's success in reaching the Finals. While the Atlanta Hawks and arena management adjusted their schedules multiple times to assist, the ownership group expressed disappointment that the midday tipoff was ultimately chosen.
