Game 5 is set for Saturday night at Frost Bank Center<\/p>\n

SAN ANTONIO \u2013 The Spurs were welcomed back to San Antonio Thursday afternoon to rowdy fans following a historic loss to the New York Knicks in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. <\/p>\n

With the Knicks\u2019 29-point comeback win Wednesday night, San Antonio is down three games to one and are now on the brink of elimination. <\/p>\n

The Spurs will take the court Saturday night for Game 5 at the Frost Bank Center. If necessary, Game 6 will be back in New York City followed by a Game 7 back at the Frost Bank Center (June 19).<\/p>\n

The Silver and Black have quite the hill to climb to storm back in the series, but there is some history in San Antonio\u2019s favor. <\/p>\n

In 2016, Cleveland trailed 3-1 against Golden State in the NBA Finals and won the series. The Spurs find themselves in a similar position. <\/p>\n

Game 5 between the Spurs and Knicks will air at 7:30 p.m. Saturday live on KSAT 12. KSAT\u2019s pregame coverage begins with an hourlong Race to Seis special at 6 p.m. on KSAT 12 and KSAT Plus before shifting over to KSAT Plus exclusively at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n
