2007–08 San Antonio Spurs season


The 2007–08 San Antonio Spurs season was the 41st season of the franchise, 35th in San Antonio, and 32nd in the National Basketball Association. The Spurs were the defending NBA champions after winning their fourth title, having swept the Cleveland Cavaliers in four games. They would once again win at least 50 games for the 9th straight season, and make the playoffs for the 11th straight season. After beating the Phoenix Suns in 5 games and the New Orleans Hornets in 7, the Spurs were eliminated by the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. The Lakers would go on to lose to the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. They failed to gain back-to-back titles for the fourth time in nine years.
Following the season, Robert Horry retired.
