This was an Exhibition Game, probably from The Indians' Spring Training Home in Tucson, Arizona. The Indians trained in Tucson from 1947-1992, and played the Giants more than anyone else in Spring Training over the next 45 years before moving to Winter Haven, Florida from 1993-2008..The Indians move back to Arizona in 2009 for Spring Training, sharing a complex with the Cincinnati Reds (2010) in the City of Goodyear, Arizona..
 
Interesting to see the NBA Finals between the Syracuse Nationals (now the Philadelhia 76ers) and the then-Fort Wayne Pistons...On April 2nd, no less!
 
That was because at the beginning of the 1954-55 NBA season you had 9 teams in the league (Baltimore Bullets dropped out after 14 Games).

There was a 72 game regular season schedule, and while 6 of the remaining 8 teams made the playoffs,
The Division winners had a bye in the first playoff round. The division semifinals were best of 3 and the division finals best of 5. The Championship Series was best of 7.

The Regular season ended March 12, 1955, and the playoffs were from March 15-April 10, 1955. Syracuse beat Ft. Wayne 4 Games to 3
