The Spurs return to Frost Bank Center tonight looking to take full control of their first-round series after a commanding 111-98 win in Game 1. San Antonio looked comfortable from the opening quarter, building a 9-point lead after one and never letting Portland seriously threaten the rest of the way. Victor Wembanyama delivered a playoff debut worthy of the hype, pouring in 35 points while looking every bit like the best player on the floor. Stephon Castle and De’Aaron Fox added 17 points each, while the Spurs got solid production across the lineup in a complete team effort.
Now comes the next challenge: protecting home court again before the series shifts to Portland. A 2-0 lead would give San Antonio a major advantage heading into Games 3 and 4, while allowing the young roster to play with even more confidence on the road. The Spurs enter tonight as 11.5-point favorites, a reflection of how dominant they looked in the opener. With Wembanyama setting the tone and the supporting cast clicking, San Antonio has a chance to put a real stranglehold on the series before leaving home.
Tonight’s Spurs vs Trail Blazers game tips off at 7:00 p.m. CDT, and fans across the country can tune in with Peacock.
Check out our new MySA shirt inspired by the Jackals and the energy inside a packed arena. It’s available now in our merch store.
Just like Sunday night’s Game 1, tonight’s game will air on NBC and Peacock. So if you were able to catch the first game of the series, you’re all set to tune into tonight’s matchup. Otherwise, you need to sign up for Peacock or a streaming service that offers live TV — just make sure the streaming platform carries NBC in your region.
While we always recommend Sling TV as our top streaming service, NBC is not included in the local San Antonio area. This makes signing up for Peacock a no-brainer since it’s the most affordable way for local fans to catch the game, plus there will be a handful of other Spurs playoff games on the platform if they keep winning. But if you want to keep things simple and just have one streaming platform to watch as many games as possible, you can sign up for one of the other four major platforms besides Sling:
While Sling might not be the best option for local fans here in town, we know there are plenty of Spurs fans around the country, and Sling is still our top pick wherever it works. In many regions around the country, Sling does carry your local NBC station, meaning you can tune into tonight’s game without signing up for Peacock. To watch the Spurs in the playoffs this season, we suggest signing up for Sling Orange & Blue, since it carries ABC, NBC, and ESPN, all of which will air postseason games. So as long as the platform carries NBC in your area, here are all the ways you can tune in tonight:
