The 2020-21 NBA season ended disappointingly for the San Antonio Spurs, who were given a backdoor into the playoffs, but ultimately missed out for the second consecutive season. There were not only negatives to the campaign but plenty of positives, and the season could have ended differently had certain things, which were out of Spurs’ control, went their way.
ESPN predicted a 13th place finish for the San Antonio Spurs at the start of the 2020-21 season, mostly because Spurs had halted a 22-year spell where they qualified for the playoffs.
