ABC pumps up Eastern finals ... with Pistons nowhere to be found
ABC's recent promo for the Eastern Conference finals mistakenly overlooked the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons defeated the Cavaliers in Game 6, forcing a decisive Game 7. Meanwhile, the Knicks have already secured their spot in the finals after sweeping the 76ers.
- ▪ABC aired a promo that mentioned the Cavaliers and Knicks but did not include the Pistons.
- ▪The Pistons won Game 6 against the Cavaliers, leading to a Game 7 matchup.
- ▪The Knicks advanced to the Eastern Conference finals after defeating the Philadelphia 76ers.
