Spurs restrict Game 5 tickets to local residents amid Knicks series lead

The San Antonio Spurs are limiting Game 5 ticket sales to residents within 150 miles of the Frost Bank Center as they prepare to face the New York Knicks. This decision follows reports indicating that approximately 45% of tickets were purchased by fans from New York and New Jersey. The team aims to ensure a home-court advantage as the Knicks lead the NBA Finals series. Ticketmaster has indicated that tickets purchased by out-of-towners will be canceled without notice. This significant move raises questions about fan access and support during the finals.
