The 2000-01 NBA season was the Spurs' 25th season in the NBA, the 28th in San Antonio, and 34th season as a franchise.[1] During the offseason, the Spurs signed free agents Derek Anderson and Danny Ferry. The Spurs continued to be among the NBA's elite winning 23 of their final 29 games to recapture the Midwest Division with a 58–24 record, while posting a league best 33–8 record at home. Tim Duncan and David Robinson were both selected for the 2001 NBA All-Star Game. In the first round of the playoffs, the Spurs would easily defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves in four games. In the semifinals, they beat the Dallas Mavericks in five games to advance the Western Conference Finals. However, they were swept in four straight games by the 2nd-seeded Los Angeles Lakers.

Following the season, Anderson was traded along with Steve Kerr to the Portland Trail Blazers, Sean Elliott retired, Avery Johnson signed as a free agent with the Denver Nuggets, and Samaki Walker signed with the Los Angeles Lakers.
