Uncover the Untold Stories Behind Every NBA Franchise’s Greatest Era—Who Truly Dominated?
San Antonio Spurs: 2015-16 (11.67)
Any argument about which team was the best during the Spursâ dynasty could go on for a while. For some perspective, San Antonio posted a TRACR of 6.0 or better 15 times in 19 seasons between 1998-99 and 2016-17. The best season of the David Robinson era came in 1998-99 when he teamed with a young Tim Duncan. The Spurs won 37 games in that 50-game season (10.05 TRACR), had the second-best single-season defensive TRACR of the past 37 years, and beat the Knicks in the NBA Finals. Two Tim Duncan-led teams topped that mark: the 2013-14 team (10.98) that beat the Heat in the finals and the 2015-16 team that set a franchise record with 67 victories but was stunned by the Thunder in the conference semifinals when the top of the Western Conference was about as daunting as it gets.
