The San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves meet in Game 6 of their second-round NBA playoff series on Friday, May 15, 2026, with San Antonio carrying a 3-2 lead into Target Center in Minneapolis. Tipoff is set for 6:30 p.m. MST and 9:30 p.m. ET, and the next Spurs game will be available only through Amazon Prime Video.
For the Timberwolves, this is a must-win night at home. For the Spurs, it is a chance to close out a series they have controlled enough to move one game from the next round. The matchup is the latest chapter in a playoff series that has stretched to six games and now shifts back to Minnesota with the Spurs still in front.
Game 6 is part of the NBA postseason’s second-round schedule, and the setting matters as much as the score line. Target Center gives Minnesota home court for one last push, but the Spurs arrive with the cushion of a series lead and the simplest playoff advantage: they have already done the harder part once, winning three of the first five games.
The only way to watch is through streaming. The game will not air on a TV channel, leaving Amazon Prime Video as the exclusive broadcast option for fans tracking the next Spurs game. That makes access part of the story, especially for a playoff matchup with a series result hanging on a single night.
The tension is plain. Minnesota needs to force a Game 7, while San Antonio has its first chance to finish the series. If the Timberwolves protect their floor, the series extends. If the Spurs hold serve, they move on and leave no room for a comeback.
Friday’s game will answer the only question that matters now in this matchup: whether the Spurs can turn a 3-2 lead into a series win, or whether the Timberwolves can send the second round back to San Antonio for one more game.
