Game 7: Spurs Last Stand?

Will tonight be the end of the Spurs run for a repeat title? I sure hope not! As the Spurs face the Hornets in a win or go home game 7, I have a feeling that this game will be a dog fight and like the Spurs in a dog fight. This is only the 3rd game 7 the Spurs have played in the Tim Duncan era going 1-1 in those games, but the first on the road.
In tonights game here are a few things to watch for. First the magic number for the first half for the Spurs is 50.
Look at the 6 games in the series:
Game 1 49-45 lost
Game 2 43-42 lost
Game 3 54-56 won
Game 4 55-42 won
Game 5 47-44 lost
Game 6 58-51 won

Second Spurs defense in the 2nd half magic number under 45 for Hornets:
Look at the 6 games in the series:
Game 1 33-50 lost
Game 2 41-60 lost
Game 3 56-43 won
Game 4 45-38 won
Game 5 32-57 lost
Game 6 41-29 won

Let hope the Spurs win and continue the drive for five.
