San Antonio Spurs NBA Cheerleader Girls

The Spurs qualified for the playoffs for the ninth year in a row. (Until this season, the Spurs and Indiana Pacers shared the NBA's longest active consecutive playoff appearance streak with nine in a row, though San Antonio has qualified for its 10th consecutive appearance during the 2006–07 season, while Indiana's playoff streak ended.) In the playoffs, the Spurs would get a surprisingly tough test from the Sacramento Kings in the first round as they need an overtime win in Game 2 to win the first two games at home, before losing the next two on the road. After regaining control of the series with a 109–98 win in Game 5, the Spurs won the series in six games as they won the finale 105–83 to set up another second round "Lone-Star Showdown" with the Mavericks.
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).
