Crucially important stat explains Spurs' raging early season success

The San Antonio Spurs have experienced a breakout year in 2025. After a 126-119 win against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday, the Spurs stand at 14-6 and are tied for 4th in the Western Conference.

What’s most remarkable is that they continue to thrive despite facing numerous injuries throughout the season. With Victor Wembanyama still recovering, De'Aaron Fox, Devin Vassell, Dylan Harper, and others have been instrumental in leading the team.

The Spurs have been winning games due to their maturity, composure, and strong performances in the closing moments. This ability to excel in critical situations is reminiscent of their success during their prime years from the early 2000s to the 2010s, which established them as one of the most successful franchises in all of sports.
