NBA professional basketball team season
The 1995–96 NBA season was the Spurs' 20th season in the National Basketball Association , and 29th season as a franchise.[ 1] San Antonio hosted the 1996 NBA All-Star Game . Without Dennis Rodman , who was dealt to the Chicago Bulls for Will Perdue , the Spurs had a solid team chemistry led by David Robinson and Sean Elliott , who were both selected for the All-Star Game. At midseason, they traded J.R. Reid to the New York Knicks for Charles D. Smith and second-year forward Monty Williams . The Spurs posted a 17-game winning streak in March, and went on to win their second straight Division title with a 59–23 record. Robinson was named to the All-NBA First Team and All-Defensive Second Team, averaging 25.0 points, 12.2 rebounds and 3.3 blocks per game.
In the playoffs , the Spurs would easily beat the Phoenix Suns in four games in the first round. However, in the semifinals, the Spurs would again stumble in the postseason losing to the 3rd-seeded Utah Jazz in six games, including a 108–81 road loss in Game 6.[ 2] Following the season, Doc Rivers retired.
