The 1991 season and playoffs were Run TMC’s high point. After missing the playoffs in 1990 when rookie Tim Hardaway joined Chris Mullin and Mitch Ritchmond, the Warriors returned to the postseason in 1991 as the #7 seed. In the first round, they faced the #2 seed San Antonio Spurs and their All-Star center David Robinson. In what would become a trend in the franchise’s history, the Warriors shocked the Spurs, upsetting a team many thought could make it to the NBA Finals. This sent Golden State into the Western Conference Semifinals to play against the inter-state rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers.
