埃利奥特谈到了社区，以及马刺球迷是如何无处不在地支持着球队。
“看到我们为他们买单时，人们变得很激动，这真的很棒，”这位马刺队电视解说嘉宾说道。“你知道，现在很多人生活得挺挣扎的，这并不容易。对我们来说，哪怕只是帮他们减轻一天、两天，或者一周、一个月的负担，都意义非凡。”
球迷们还收到了西部决赛第三场的门票，这也是自2017年以来马刺队首次在主场承办西决比赛。
“人们因为马刺队而紧密相连，这些年来我们一直能看到这一点，”埃利奥特感慨道。“当我们的球队在季后赛中一路高歌猛进并夺得总冠军时，那种力量是如何凝聚并激励整座城市的。”
超市里挤满了身着马刺队装备的球迷。在埃利奥特留在超市期间，许多人停下脚步与他畅聊篮球。
今晚马刺队将重新披挂上阵，在主场迎战俄克拉荷马雷霆队，展开双方第四场（G4）的对决。

Elliott spoke about the community and how Spurs fans are everywhere supporting the team.
“People got emotional over us paying their groceries, and it was great too,” stated the Spurs color analyst. “You know a lot of people are out there struggling right now, it’s not easy. For us to take that burden off of them just for a day or two, or for the week, or for the month means a lot.”
