The San Antonio Spurs have etched their name in franchise history by achieving a remarkable 5-0 start to the 2023-2024 NBA season. This past Wednesday’s win against the Miami Heat capped off a 5-0 start for the Spurs. This win established a more sublimer landmark, as it is the best start in the team’s storied franchise history.
This accomplishment was no small feat given that the San Antonio Spurs have only started a season 4-0 four times in history. The 2017 season was the last time they accomplished such a feat. Believe it or not, the Spurs had never opened a season with five consecutive victories. They became the third franchise overall, joining the Miami Heat and Sacramento Kings to make this milestone. The triumph over the Heat allowed the Spurs to exit this exclusive group, setting a new precedent for the team.
The Spurs aren’t just having a great start—they’re having a historic start! Now they share a truly incredible accomplishment with the 2015-2016 Golden State Warriors, who started their season 24-0, a record for best start in NBA history. The Spurs aren’t there yet. Though still a surprise, their performance goes a long way toward establishing that this is not a fluke season so far.
While the Spurs still have a long season ahead of them, their impressive start has fans and analysts buzzing about what San Antonio could accomplish this year. Ravens signal great potential with dominating victories of formidable opponents. Their ambition for the remainder of the campaign is as plain as day.
