“Forgotten Legends: The Epic Teams That Dominated But Never Tasted NBA Glory”
Remember, only one team can win that last game in June. But for now, here’s the list of greatest teams that fell short of winning it all, per TRACR (since 1986-87).
1. 2015-16 San Antonio Spurs (11.7 TRACR)
We know what you’re saying. What about the 73-win Warriors? But that Golden State team overshadows just how good the 67-win Spurs were that season. For much of the campaign, both teams were on a blistering pace. Entering play on Jan. 25, 2016, the Warriors were 40-4 and the Spurs 38-6.
At the end of the regular season, the Warriors had a plus-10.8 point differential while the Spurs had a 10.6 mark. This San Antonio team ranks as the sixth-best team in TRACR since 1986-87, while Golden State is eighth. Both teams were stunned in the wild 2016 NBA playoffs.
