Looking at the TV channel for Warriors vs. Cavaliers Game 5 in the 2016 NBA Finals

The Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers are seemingly getting more chippy with each passing day. That of course culminated in the last game—a contest won by the Warriors to give them a 3-1 lead in the 2016 NBA Finals—with the altercation between Draymond Green and LeBron James. Now that Green has been retroactively assessed a Flagrant 1, he’ll be suspended for Game 5 on Monday night.

Draymond being out at any point for the Warriors in the NBA Finals is a huge blow to them. They’re obviously a special team, but it’s Green’s unique blend of skills and versatility that truly allow them to be the team that they are. Subsequently, you have to wonder what Golden State is going to look like in Game 5.

By the same token, though, you have to wonder if how the Cavs, LeBron, and the league have reacted to this situation will only serve to galvanize the Warriors as they head back to Oracle Arena for Game 5 of the NBA Finals. If there’s one thing that Cleveland doesn’t want, its something that will add fuel to the fire of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in this series. But that might be exactly what this whole incident has done.

This drama and the fact that the Warriors could close out the NBA Finals with a win at home has fans pining for the start of Game 5. Therefore, they also might be wondering what channel the game is on. Just like every other game in the series, this game will be broadcast on ABC and online on ESPN3 and will begin at 9 p.m. ET.
