The Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs will lock horns for the sixth time in the Western Conference semifinals tonight at 10:30 p.m. at Oracle Arena. The Warriors will try to stave off elimination, and the game can be live streamed for free here. Game 6 is being broadcast on TNT, while Spurs fans can listen to the game at 1200 WOAI and Warriors fans can tune in to 660 KNBR.
Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich got prickly when asked about "getting rid" of the pesky Warriors tonight. "Nobody talks about getting this over with like you've got a rash," Popovich said. "Like you can take a pill or put some cream on it, it's going to be gone. This is a war. They're a class team. They bust their (butts) at both ends of the floor. It's not about getting rid of anything. It's about going and playing and that's about it."
The Warriors are 4-0 this postseason following a loss, and in this series neither team has won more than one game in a row. The good news for the Spurs, though, is that they may have found a formula for slowing down Golden State's furious 3-point attack.
Game 5 was the first blowout of the series, with San Antonio blasting the Warriors on the chin 109-91 in San Antonio. Stephen Curry was 4-of-14 from the field and just 1-of-7 from beyond the arc in a nine-point effort. Klay Thompson was even more ineffective, hitting just 2-of-8 from the floor and failing to attempt even one 3-point shot.
Curry was hard on himself following the loss, saying, "I was terrible, plain and simple. They outplayed us as a team. Individually, I didn't have anything on either end. (I was) a step slow, my shot wasn't falling and I was trying to make plays but defensively I lost a little focus."
The Warriors will need every ounce of focus they can muster in Game 6; if they don't win tonight they will be watching the Spurs play the Memphis Grizzlies in the Western Conference finals.
