In Game 1, the San Antonio Spurs didn’t play like they normally play. A lot of people overlook this team, but they are the only team in NBA history to deliver 50 wins every year for eighteen years. The core from the first 50 win team is nothing like the core, now.
The San Antonio Spurs feel a little robbed, as last season they won a franchise record, 67 games. Due to the Warriors’ historic 73-win season, they were only the second seed. Then, in the playoffs, the Thunder eliminated them in six games.
When the playoffs, this year, started, the Spurs struggled, a little bit, to beat the Memphis Grizzlies. Then, when they got to the second round, the Houston Rockets made quick work of them in Game 1, on their floor. Last night, they had to come back strong, which they did, and Kawhi Leonard led the charge, later talking with Allie LaForce, after the game about the win.
