-Notes.....1989 was the first year that Hubie Brown served as the #1 analyst.... The doubleheader on 5/23 marks the last time the NBA scheduled two "definite" conference finals games the same night (although NBC scheduled some "if necessary" Game 6
doubleheaders - a few of which actually were necessary in the early 2000s).... Interestingly, 17 years later, all 4 of the CBS announcers who called the 1989 conference finals also worked as announcers on national broadcasts of NBA playoff games in 2006 (
and so did Snapper Jones).
