The Spurs’ quest to recapture The Beautiful Game

The Spurs’ offense spent much of last season in handcuffs. The team ranked 17th in offensive rating, their lowest since 1996-97 when David Robinson only played 6 games due to injury. Like in 1996-97, much of it had to do with the team lacking its primary offensive force. Unlike that year, the team still fought its way into the playoffs, but Kawhi Leonard’s absence highlighted how the team’s offense has changed since the height of the Beautiful Game just a few years ago.

The Spurs ranked 1st in assists per game in 2012-13 and 2013-14 and in the top 5 in assist %.
