The 1974–75 San Antonio Spurs season was the second season for the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs made their debut on October 18, 1974, vs the Indiana Pacers in Indiana, winning 129–121 in double overtime.[1] Afterwards, the Spurs would win the next two games, getting to a quick start. In December they would be 21–18 after finishing 7–10 in the month (with a 5 gaming losing streak at one point and even firing their coach midway in the season), but they would win 30 of their last 45 games (having 7-game winning streak at one point), finishing with over 50 victories for the first time in Spurs history. In the 1975 ABA Playoffs, the Spurs once again lost in the first round 4–2 to the Indiana Pacers.
