Tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET the Oklahoma City Thunder will be trying to stay alive in the Western Conference Finals when they host a Game 6 against the San Antonio Spurs on TNT which can be live streamed here free. Thunder fans can find the radio broadcast on 98.1 WWLS, while Spurs fans may do likewise on 1200 WOAI.
Oklahoma City seemed poised to repeat their feat of two years ago, when they fell behind 2-0 to San Antonio before ripping off four consecutive wins. They won two blowouts in OKC, before getting stomped in shocking fashion in Game 5 in Texas.
"There's no script for this," Thunder reserve point guard Derek Fisher said. "You can try to set expectations, and everybody can sit around and try and predict what's going to happen and which team is going to come out on top, and it's just impossible. That's what makes sports sports, and why people are so excited about either being there or watching it, because you never know what's going to happen."
The Spurs rebounded from their two blowout losses, which coincided with the return of OKC power forward Serge Ibaka, by creating floor spacing by inserting Matt Bonner into the lineup. "The adjustments that the coaches made were very efficient tonight," Spurs forward Boris Diaw said.
"We tried to space the floor a little more. We came back to the way we were aggressive in the first two games. Going from good to great. That's what Pop has asked all year, that's what we've been doing all year."
Thunder coach Scott Brooks hasn't ruled out playing Ibaka at center and going small with Kevin Durant at power forward, but Durant shrugged off thoughts of lineup changes. "Schemes and Xs and Os, it all goes out the door," he said. "We've just got to play harder. They did last game, so we've got to match up."
