I doubt that it will be controversial in this space if I call the 2014 San Antonio Spurs the most perfect example of team basketball in the history of the NBA. For me, the moment that embodied that most was the third quarter of game five of those NBA Finals, where Patty Mills poured in three after three. On most teams, in the playoffs, role players get cut out of the offense, and teams will tensely run play after play for their superstars. Not the San Antonio Spurs, they didn’t care who he was, if he was open, it was his shot.
