San Antonio Spurs NBA Cheerleader Girls

Game 1 would set the tone of the series as it was tight all the way with Tim Duncan scoring a game-high 31 points in an 87–85 win. However, in Game 2, the Spurs were rocked at home, losing by 22 points. As the series shifted to Dallas, the Mavericks gained control winning two close nail-bitters to take a 3–1 series lead. However, the Spurs would not go down without a fight as they rebounded to win a physical war in Game 5 by a score of 98–97, as former Maverick Michael Finley got hit with a low blow from Jason Terry in the final seconds. Terry, who had played well against the Spurs all series, would be suspended for Game 6 and the Spurs took full advantage, winning on the road 91–86 to force a 7th game at the AT&T Center. In Game 7, Tim Duncan would lead the way for the Spurs with 41 points and 15 rebounds. However, he was matched by Dirk Nowitzki. The Spurs erased an early 20-point deficit and forced the game into overtime. However, in overtime it was not meant to be as the Mavericks were on fire, scoring 15 points to win the game 119–111.
+ 2006–07: 4th championship
After their disappointing defeat at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks, the Spurs entered the 2006–07 season refreshed with renewed determination, as they felt fatigue played a large role as they failed to win a second straight NBA Title. The Spurs began their 2007 season on foreign soil as they opened up their training camp in France in October 2006, in an effort to build camaraderie between players and expand their international presence (this team had players from four nations, including France).
With a 97–91 opening-night victory on November 2 at Dallas, Gregg Popovich became the fourth head coach in North American professional sports history to post 10 straight opening night victories (others are: Tom Landry, Bill Fitch and George Allen). The Spurs got off to a strong start in the regular season, winning 11 of their first 14 games, including victories over Dallas, Phoenix and Houston. During that stretch, Tim Duncan became the 98th member of the 15,000-point club at Seattle. However, the Spurs franchise-record 12-game road winning streak came to a halt with a 111–102 loss at Golden State on November 27. With a win against Sacramento on December 2, 2006, the Spurs moved past the Celtics to become the second winningest franchise in NBA history (based on winning percentage) at .595. But as the season unfolded, the Spurs failed to live up to their lofty expectations. Following a 9–7 record in January, the Spurs started February with a 1–3 record. They struggled down the stretch in many of those defeats, and the Spurs quickly found themselves far behind the Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns. In fact, the Spurs were, during this period, a mere 1.5 games ahead of the third-place Houston Rockets in the Southwest Division. Trade rumors began swirling around the Spurs. Unaccustomed to struggling during the regular season, the Spurs were frustrated. With the trade deadline quickly approaching, Popovich had to choose whether or not to keep the team together. His decision was not to make a trade. Then, it was as if their whole season had magically turned around in one moment. With quiet determination, the Spurs spent the rest of the season flying under the radar, winning thirteen games in a row during February and March. The Spurs won those games with either tough defense or by hitting big shots down the stretch. The Spurs were an NBA-best 25–6 in the final 31 games. During the 31-game stretch, the Spurs averaged 98.8 points while holding their opponents to 87.9 ppg. With that streak, the Spurs began climbing back up in the Western Conference standings. Despite their massive turnaround, the Spurs would not catch the Mavs who won the Southwest Division by nine games. However, with the NBA's top ranked defense and a 58–24 record, the Spurs entered the postseason in good shape.
