Saturday night\u2019s Game 5 at Frost Bank Center is no longer just another NBA Finals matchup. It\u2019s an elimination game for the San Antonio Spurs, who return home trailing the Knicks 3-1 after a devastating 107-106 loss in Game 4. San Antonio had a 29-point lead, made a Finals-record 14 3-pointers in the first half and still watched the game slip away after scoring just 30 points over the final two quarters. Now, the Spurs are back in front of their home crowd with their season on the line.<\/p>\n
That makes this one of the biggest ticket opportunities of the year for fans who want to see Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs in person. The young team looked downright shocked at the end of Game 4, but Frost Bank Center gives San Antonio a chance to answer with the energy of an entire city behind it. There may also be plenty of Knicks fans making the trip, as New York\u2019s rabid fan base looks to see its team close out the Finals on the road. For Spurs fans, that only raises the stakes. If San Antonio is going to keep its championship hopes alive, it will need the building loud from the opening tip.<\/p>\n
