A delayed season got under way at the beginning of 1999, with a schedule of 50 games in about as many days. What was normally a marathon turned into a sprint because of the NBA lockout. San Antonio had a slow start but overcame it by pulling together a string of admirable team performances that helped them win 31 of their last 36 games, catapulting them into the playoffs with a home-court advantage. On a roll, they blasted through the T-Wolves, the Lakers, and the Trail Blazers, winning 12 playoff games in a row. In the final they deposed a gritty New York team in similar fashion.

Go Spurs Go reviews the San Antonio season through interviews with players, coaches, and veterans such as George "the Ice Man" Gervin. We also go behind the scenes into the locker rooms and the hotels and onto the sidelines as we listen to the Spurs players debate, congratulate, and encourage each other. Perhaps the most insightful dialogue belongs to team leader David Robinson, who articulates with great passion why the season was so important to him and to the city of San Antonio. Instead of congratulating himself, he modestly reflects on team spirit and the "trust factor" that allowed the Spurs to synchronize their efforts effectively. Jordan may be gone, but he can rest assured that the league is in good hands... those of the Admiral and his protégé Tim "the General" Duncan. --Jeremy Storey
