It’s the Friday Drive edition of The Sports Answer! Host Rudy Campos Jr. is behind the wheel for a mobile session with Jeff Garcia (Spurs in Focus) as they dive into a high-stakes weekend for San Antonio sports.

After a dominant Game 2 where San Antonio led for over 46 minutes, the series shifts to the Target Center for a pivotal Game 3.

Plus, the guys tackle the latest NBA controversy: Draymond Green’s "Houston Rockets" jab at Charles Barkley.

5/29 The Friday Drive

Rudy Campos Jr. and former NBA player Derek Gervin are LIVE in the Salem Surround Studios breaking down the two biggest words in sports: GAME 7. The San Antonio Spurs just blew out OKC by 27 points in Game 6 behind a dominant 28-point, 10-rebound performance from Victor Wembanyama. Now, the series is tied 3-3 heading back to Oklahoma City. Can the young Spurs block out the noise, duplicate their lock-down defensive intensity, and handle a hostile road environment? Derek and Rudy deep dive into what this winner-take-all matchup means for the league, why the legacy pressure is firmly on regular-season MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and how the physical defensive play of Stefan Castle could decide the game by halftime. Plus, in this episode: * Spurs Chisme: Associate Head Coach Sean Sweeney accepts the head coaching gig with the Orlando Magic. How does this massive front-office move affect the locker room chemistry right before tip-off? * The Next Great NBA Duo: Can the Victor Wembanyama and Dylan Harper connection reach elite, legendary status like Magic & Kareem or Kobe & Shaq? * Anti-Tanking Drama: Breaking down the NBA's controversial new "3-2-1 Anti-Tanking System." Why the worst teams are being penalized and how Adam Silver is locking down on the lottery. * NBA Legend Stories: Derek shares a classic, unfiltered story about getting into it on the court with 2-time Sixth Man of the Year Ricky Pierce—and how they finally became friends 30 years later.
