Spurs second-round – Misryoum reports the NBA has announced when the Spurs begin their second-round series and how the schedule shifts across games.
A fresh stretch of high-stakes basketball is on the way for San Antonio, with the NBA announcing the dates for the Spurs’ second-round playoff series.
Misryoum reports that the No. 2 seed Spurs will open the Western Conference semifinals against the winner of the Denver vs. Minnesota matchup. San Antonio advanced after dispatching Portland in five games in the first round, setting up what promises to be a tighter test in the next stage.
The timing matters as much as the opponent: playoff momentum is built in days, not just games, and the schedule can shape rest, rhythm, and matchups.
The Spurs’ second-round series begins at the Frost Bank Center, with Game 1 slated for Monday night and Game 2 set for Wednesday night. Misryoum notes that this marks a return to the conference semifinals for the organization after a gap since 2017, bringing added intensity to the opening stretch.
San Antonio then shifts to the road for Game 3 on Friday, May 8, followed by Game 4 on Sunday, May 10. If the series extends, Game 5 would return to San Antonio on Tuesday, May 12.
For fans, the alternating venues can quickly change what “home court” means from a comfort advantage to a strategic rhythm, especially if the series stays close.
Misryoum also reports that the schedule could keep rolling well into mid-May. Game 6, if necessary, is set for Friday, May 15 on the road, while a potential Game 7 would be played on May 17 back at the Frost Bank Center.
As the Spurs wait for their opponent to be determined, the message from within the team is simple: the desire to get started. Misryoum notes that forward Julian Champagnie said he wants the games to begin sooner, emphasizing a mindset of readiness regardless of who advances.
Ultimately, the second round is where preparation meets pressure, and a clearly defined calendar gives teams a chance to turn focus into execution right from tip-off.
