Another exciting year of San Antonio Spurs basketball came to a close with a devastating Game Seven loss at the Pepsi Center against the rising Denver Nuggets. With the cards stacked against them, this year’s Spurs group rallied around each other to create a fun, winning environment that exceeded many of the expectations placed on them from last year’s offseason.
This served as a transitionary year for the franchise, moving on from the core of the 2014 championship team and the dynasty of previous seasons. With Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green on to their next ventures, the Spurs turned to an unlikely core of players to learn the system and adapt to the heated Western Conference.
