The National Basketball Association announced dates and times for all games of the NBA finals on Tuesday.

The first game will be played on June 4 with game two scheduled for June 7. Games three and four will be June 9 and 11 respectively.

Game five, if necessary, would take place on June 14. Games six and seven, also if necessary, are scheduled for June 16 and June 18.

There will be a new NBA champion this year as the Boston Celtics have already been eliminated by Orlando. Cleveland, Denver and Los Angeles are also still in the hunt with the Lakers looking to compete in their second consecutive finals.
