1990–91 San Antonio Spurs season
The 1990-91 NBA season was the Spurs' 15th season in the NBA and 24th season as a franchise.[1] After a promising rookie season from David Robinson, the Spurs would win 17 of their first 22 games. However, with Terry Cummings and Rod Strickland lost for long stretched games due to injuries, the Spurs struggled in February with a 4–7 record. The Spurs would bounce back winning 13 of their final 17 games as they won the Midwest Division with a solid 55–27 record. Robinson averaged 25.6 points, 13.0 rebounds, and 3.9 blocks per game. However, in the first round of the playoffs, they would be stunned by the 7th-seeded Golden State Warriors in four games.
The Spurs introduced a new logo, which featured the fiesta colors of turquoise, fuchsia and orange although the uniforms were silver and black. The logo lasted until 2002.
