The San Antonio Spurs have had a nearly perfect season but were hoping for even more. Despite having the second-best record in the league, they own swap rights with the Atlanta Hawks in the 2026 NBA Draft and were expecting to have a fantastic pick.
That gave them a chance to have one of the best records in the league as well as a lottery pick, a perfect scenario for the rapidly improving Spurs. Unfortunately for the Silver and Black, things haven't gone according to plan of late.
Sure, they are 23-2 in their last 25 games, but the Hawks are also soaring.
