Sunday's games at the St. Pete Times Forum, originally scheduled for 2:15 and 4:45 p.m., have been moved to 4:30 and 7 to accommodate a request by CBS.

Nashville also was asked to move its games back two hours to help create a fourth window of coverage.

CBS will move 60 Minutes to 9:30 p.m. and Without a Trace to 10:30.

In all likelihood, CBS' request to add an additional broadcast was made to help recoup advertising losses from switching Thursday's early games to ESPN due to CBS News' war coverage.

SINGLE-SESSION TICKETS ON SALE: Beginning at 9 a.m., the St. Pete Times Forum will sell single-session tickets for both sessions today and the one Sunday. There are 400-800 tickets available, depending on the session. Each ticket is $55 and can be purchased at the box office or by calling (813) 301-6600.
