The NBA Finals goes back to San Antonio as the Spurs get ready to face the New York Knicks in a crucial game 5: if the Big Apple franchise wins, they will capture their first Larry O'Brien trophy since 1973. That's one of the reasons why thousands of New York fans will be in attendance at Frost Bank Center. But that doesn't seem to bother veteran guards like De'Aaron Fox, who understands that the thousands in attendance will not have an influence on the game. Or will they? MARCA correspondent Nacho García gives us the details.

00:00We are back in San Antonio, just a few hours before the first championship opportunity of this NBA Finals,
00:07the first time when the Larry Orion Trophy will be there in the court.
00:12The New York Knicks have the chance to win it again after more than 50 years.
00:18At this point, my opinion, fatigue is becoming a real factor.
00:24Today, for example, the Spurs didn't have any activity on the court.
00:28The Knicks did it. The Knicks had practice in this empty Frostbank Center that will turn into a small Madison
00:37Square Garden in tomorrow's game.
00:40We are talking about 45-50% of the crowd will be Knicks fans. It's something crazy.
00:47I wanted to ask some of the big Spurs players about the reality that they will have to face tomorrow,
00:54playing at home, in their own arena, but in front of thousands and thousands of Knicks fans
01:00who are traveling from New York to Texas after buying tickets from many Spurs fans.
01:06No, it's not a concern. I mean, we've got good defense here in the crowd.
01:14People are making money. It's the economy that we live in. It's the world that we live in.
01:20Am I upset about it? No. Do I understand it? Sure.
01:24But I don't think that really changes kind of what happens on the court.
01:28At the end of the day, everything is about money.
01:31This is what the Iron Fox said.
01:33Everything is ready here in San Antonio.
01:35The Knicks are just one win away from making history.
01:39But the Spurs still have one more chance to protect their home court and keep these NBA Finals alive.
01:46They must do something that they never did before.
01:49They have to win at home in these Finals.
01:52Keep posted across all market platforms for this special NBA Finals coverage.
01:58See you there.
