Money, of course. If you use 3 officials at $100/game plus mileage, you have a possible total of $600/game. If you use 2 officials at $200/game with NO mileage, then you have a fixed cost of $400/game. That's a savings of $4000 over the course of the season to each team.
By the way, the email specifically mentioned that this is how the CBA does it, sort of as a justification for the move, I guess.
