The Spurs began play as an original entry in the American Basketball Association in 1967. The franchise joined the NBA in 1976 after four ABA seasons. In 1981–82, San Antonio captured their first divisional title by winning 51 games under third-year head coach Stan Albeck. They defeated the Denver Nuggets 145–130 for their first conference championship and swept both games of a best-of-three First Round playoff series against the Portland Trail Blazers before falling to eventual 1982 NBA Finals champion Los Angeles Lakers 1–4 in a best-of-seven conference semifinal series. The following season, they finished 54–28 under Albeck to finish with their first-ever 50+ win season behind new head coach Cotton Fitzsimmons and earn their second straight division title as well as a Central Division crown. They would again advance to the conference semifinals but this time were swept by eventual Finals champion Philadelphia 76ers 4–0 during Fitzsimmons’ only year as head coach. After regressing to 36–46 during his final season after taking over for Fitz Simmons following his heart attack early in the year, silvershoe Mike Dunleavy Sr., who had taken over on an interim basis late in 1988–89 while Bob Hill was fired with eleven games remaining and led them to a 10–13 finish down the stretch en route to what was then their worst record since 1981–82 (excluding strike shortened seasons) despite being competitive much of that season losing several close games en route to missing out on what would’ve been their fourth straight playoff appearance (as well as track down history by another original ABA team Indiana Pacers who that same year was putting together one of worst inaugural seasons ever going 24 like both Dallas Mavericks & Denver Nuggets currently sit at through 43 first game nights having lost 20+ consecutive games at certain points & neither coming close to accomplishing), finally guided them back into playoffs next year not only finishing 47–35 but also clinching sixth seed ensuring themselves home court advantage for a First Round matchup against fellow former ABA rival Houston Rockets (who themselves were one game shy from setting then all time single season record for fewest wins held by expansion New Orleans Jazz) who had just squeaked into eighth spot despite having three more losses thanks head to tiebreaker following tie with fellow former ABA squad Portland Trail Blazers which gave them momentum that any team could only dream about when playing their way into playoffs especially given fact that both teams stumbled into playoffs playing some bad basketball heading towards end of regular season meeting each other 3 times during final month or so of regular season where they each won home game before Rockets stunned everyone winning final matchup played at HemisFair Arena (which Spurs would call home until moving into newly completed Alamodome six years later) clinching final playoff spot edging out Suns by 1/2 game
With much help from journeyman Knicks castoff Micheal Ray Richardson who had come over late previous season giving team big lift offensively & defensively something sorely needed with injuries decimating backcourt forcing Nelson to start Biren so Richardson became instant starter next to him & fellow backcourt mate Johnny Moore Dunleavy guided Spurs not only back into playoffs but all way back Eastern Conference Finals where they lost hard fought seven game series rematch against rival Rockets whom they had disposed of easily just two years ago during Albeck’s final playoff run as head coach winning series 4-1
