Result:
LOSS

If the Sonics are to avoid elimination, they'll have to push their perfect playoff home record to six straight games at Key Arena (5-0, 4-1 ATS). If the Spurs want to end the series in Seattle they need to maintain the defensive strategy used in game-five which kept the Sonics and Ray Allen off kilter. If the Spurs keep the Sonics under 92 points, a feat they have done in all three wins, it's game over. Seattle owns a terrible 4-13 straight-up mark last seventeen when scoring less than 92 points and have crush backers with a 3-13-1 against-the-spread record over the span. San Antonio is 2-2 straight-up and against-the-number away in the post season but the double losses at Seattle marked eight losses overall in last twelve on the road against a conference opponent. So can Sonics maintain it's perfect mark on home court? The answer is no. The Spurs crush the 6 point spread and send the Sonics packing. Two stars on San Antonio minus the points.
