A loss on the final day of the season dropped the defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs from the No. 2 seed all the way down to No. 6. Their punishment of that one loss is the possibility of three straight road playoff series just to defend their Western Conference title. A win would have guaranteed at least two home playoff rounds.
Not only do they lose home court advantage, but the Spurs (55-27) now face a tougher first round opponent in the No. 3 Los Angeles Clippers (56-26). The teams split four meetings this season with the Spurs winning the first two and the Clippers taking the last two.
The Spurs swept the Clippers out of the 2012 Western Conference semifinals in the only playoff meeting between the teams.
