With Dennis Rodman serving two suspensions early into the regular season,^[17][18][19] the Spurs struggled and played below .500 basketball with a slow 7–9 start. However, they would win 13 of their next 14 games, hold a 30–15 record at the All-Star break,^[20] then later on post a 15-game winning streak between March and April, and win 21 of their final 23 games, winning the Midwest Division title by finishing with the league's best record at 62–20, and earning the first seed in the Western Conference.^[21] It was also their best regular season record in franchise history, surpassing the 56-win 1989–90 season, which would be surpassed 11 seasons later by the 2005-06 team (63–19), then 10 seasons later by the 2015-16 squad (67–15).

David Robinson averaged 27.6 points, 10.8 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game, and was named the NBA Most Valuable Player of the Year;^[22][23][24] he was also named to the All-NBA First Team, and was selected for the 1995 NBA All-Star Game in Phoenix, Arizona.^[25][26][27] In addition, Elliott averaged 18.1 points per game and contributed 136 three-point field goals, while Johnson provided the team with 13.4 points, 8.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game, Vinny Del Negro contributed 12.5 points per game, and Rodman, who only played just 49 games, averaged 7.1 points, and led the league with 16.8 rebounds per game, and was named to the All-NBA Third Team. Off the bench, Person played a sixth man role, averaging 10.8 points per game and leading the Spurs with 172 three-point field-goals, while J.R. Reid averaged 7.0 points and 4.9 rebounds per game, and Terry Cummings provided with 6.8 points and 5.0 rebounds per game.^[28]

Both Robinson and Rodman were named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team; Robinson also finished in fourth place in Defensive Player of the Year voting, while Rodman finished in fifth place,^[29][30] Johnson finished in sixth place in Most Improved Player voting,^[31][30] Person finished in third place in Sixth Man of the Year voting,^[32][30] and Hill finished in third place in Coach of the Year voting.^[33][30]

In the Western Conference First Round of the 1995 NBA playoffs, the Spurs swept the Denver Nuggets in three straight games.^[34][35][36] In the Western Conference Semi-finals, they defeated the 5th-seeded Los Angeles Lakers in six games.^[37][38][39] However, in the Western Conference Finals, they would lose to the 6th-seeded, and defending NBA champion Houston Rockets in six games.^[40][41][42] The Rockets would go on to defeat the Orlando Magic in four straight games in the 1995 NBA Finals, winning their second consecutive NBA championship.^[43][44][45]

Following the season, the Spurs traded Rodman to the Chicago Bulls, no longer being able to handle the distractions that came along with the NBA's top rebounder.^[46][47][48] Also following the season, Terry Cummings re-signed as a free agent with his former team, the Milwaukee Bucks,^[49][50][51] while Willie Anderson was left unprotected in the 1995 NBA expansion draft, where he was selected by the Toronto Raptors expansion team,^[52][53][54] and Malone, who only played just 17 games this season due to a ruptured tendon in his right leg,^[55][56] retired after nineteen seasons in the NBA.

Season opener delayed

The Spurs' season opener against the Golden State Warriors on November 4, 1994, was delayed more than 50 minutes after the Alamodome's sprinkler system accidentally went off. The cause was a sensor getting triggered by the fireworks display the team put on during the player introductions. Most of those soaked were the fans who were seated in the season ticket area, and they took it in stride. The game eventually went on as scheduled, with Golden State winning 123–118.^[57][58][59]

Dennis Rodman

Dennis Rodman helped San Antonio to their then-franchise best win–loss record of 62–20, and they made it to the Western Conference finals. However, his increasingly erratic off-court life, including a brief but heavily publicized relationship with singer Madonna, and on-court antics, such as dyeing his hair and starting on-court arguments resulted in him being traded to the Chicago Bulls after only two years with the Spurs.
