The last time the Spurs made the postseason, COVID-19 had yet to grip our country, throwing it into the worst pandemic of our lifetime. It was 2019, and San Antonio was tasked with taking down the Nuggets and Nikola Jokic before he had fully evolved into the Joker we know and hate playing against today. They fell to Denver in seven games and haven't been back since. Until now.
The Phoenix Suns and the horrendous officiating didn't make it easy, but winning a hard-fought game that forced the Silver and Black to overcome adversity is appropriate for the playoff clincher.
