The Rundown:

In a series where home court advantage has meant everything and blowouts have been the norm, the Oklahoma City Thunder may have a decisive advantage coming back home for Saturday night's do-or-die Game 6 with the San Antonio Spurs.

Yet, with the gamesmanship that has been taking place between Spurs' coach Gregg Popovich and OKC coach Scott Brooks, don't be surprised if it's coaching and not home court which turns the tide in tonight's contest.

"The adjustments that the coaches made were very efficient tonight," the Spurs' Boris Diaw said, via ESPN.com, after the team's 117-89 thrashing of the Thunder in Thursday's Game 5. "We tried to space the floor a little more. We came back to the way we were aggressive in the first two games. Going from good to great. That's what Pop has asked all year, that's what we've been doing all year."

Your move, Scott Brooks.

"Anything's possible," Brooks said when asked about the possibility of starting Serge Ibaka at center for extra defensive oomph. "We just have to, whoever we put out there, we just have to play better."

With a raucous partisan crowd behind them on Saturday, don't be surprised if the Thunder do just that - gifting us all with a classic Game 7 on Monday.
