WATCH: The San Antonio Spurs’ top 10 plays of 2020

The San Antonio Spurs didn’t have a year to remember, but some of the plays they made during the season are hard to forget.

In a year unlike any other, the San Antonio Spurs finally had their playoff streak snapped in a shortened 2019-20 season. The reality seemed to set in for the club over the offseason, with plenty of talk about needed changes surrounding training camp. As the year winds down and a new season begins, I wanted to take some time to reflect on some bright spots in an otherwise dark year.

From their season tipoff in October to their final game in the Orlando bubble, the Spurs’ season lasted an unprecedented 296 days with a 144-day break in between. Despite playing nine fewer games than they’re used to, they still had several “jump out of your seat” moments highlighted by one that was widely regarded as the best play in the NBA by many outlets.

It’s not every day you make a shot while your body is parallel to the ground, but Dejounte managed to do just that in the first meeting between the two teams last season.
