The Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs meet Friday night in Game 6 of their second-round playoff series, with the Spurs holding a 3-2 lead and the chance to close out the matchup at Target Center in Minneapolis.
The game is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. MST, which is 9:30 p.m. ET, on Friday, May 15, 2026. It will not air on a TV channel. Fans who want to watch will need Amazon Prime Video, which has the exclusive stream for Game 6.
That makes this one of the cleanest must-watch nights of the round. The Spurs are one win from advancing, while the Timberwolves need to protect home court to force a Game 7. In a playoff series that has already reached its second-round pressure point, there is no room left for a slow start or a long chase.
The setting adds to the edge. Target Center has a chance to become the center of the series, but only if Minnesota can turn a home floor into a response. If San Antonio handles the moment, the trip to Minneapolis will end with the visitors moving on and the Timberwolves left looking back at the one game they had to have.
For viewers, the bigger issue is simpler than the bracket. This game is streaming-only, and that means the night belongs to Amazon Prime Video rather than a local broadcast or national TV slot. For a late-round playoff game with the series hanging at 3-2, access matters almost as much as the result. A result that sends the Spurs through would seal the series on the road; a Timberwolves win would send the matchup back one more night, with everything still undecided.
Friday’s tip at 9:30 p.m. ET is the one that can settle the series. The Spurs have put themselves in position to finish it. The Timberwolves now have to answer at home, or the second round ends in Minneapolis with the door shut behind them.
