Spurs Fans Say Game 6 Is A Must Win

Hilton Palacio del Rio

The Spurs are getting set for a do or die Game 6 against Oklahoma City tonight.  San Antonio trails the Thunder 3-2 in their second round playoff series. 

John Bassett feels good about tonight's game.

“I’ve got confidence that they can pull it off tonight,” Bassett says. “The team realizes this is a really great opportunity to make last run with potentially the last generation of this team, so we really want to see them do well.”

Fan Lauren Jones wants better officiating.

“If they win tonight, I’ll be really happy because then we get to continue on in the series,” she says. “And I hope the refs are calling the right things, because they have not been calling them very well the last couple games.

Fan Paola Garcia is hoping for a win tonight.  She'll be watching the game with her boyfriend.

"Me and my boyfriend will go this place called Wing Daddy’s, and we’ll go and drink beer and eat wings and watch the game,” she says.

Tip-off is at 6:30 p.m.  Game Seven will be on Saturday if the Spurs win tonight.
