Season Profile Comparison: San Antonio Spurs vs Brooklyn Nets

This is a season snapshot, organized into four categories so you can see the main levers quickly. In close matchups, the deciding swing often shows up where one team wins both of the key stats in a section.

Record & Scoring

San Antonio Spurs leads both win percentage (70.7) and point margin (8.3), which usually signals the steadier four-quarter profile. If Brooklyn Nets is going to flip this category, it often needs a scoring run that forces San Antonio Spurs to chase points rather than manage possessions.

Metric San Antonio Spurs Brooklyn Nets
Record (W-L) 62-20 20-62
Win Percentage 70.7 29.3
Points For 119.8 105.9
Points Against 111.5 115.9
Points Margin 8.3 -10

Efficiency

This section is mixed: shooting efficiency points to Brooklyn Nets (111.3), while field goal efficiency points to San Antonio Spurs (55.9). If pace rises and possessions stack up, broader shooting efficiency can matter more because small advantages repeat more often.

Three-Point % 0.2 0.2
Shooting Efficiency 110.4 111.3
Field Goal Efficiency 55.9 52

Three-Point Rate 0.4 0.5
Free Throw % 0.8 0.8

Tempo, Ratings & Turnovers

San Antonio Spurs leads net rating (8.1 vs -10.2) and also plays cleaner by turnovers per game (12.6 vs 15). That combo usually means fewer “gift” possessions, which makes it easier to keep control even if pace rises.

Metric San Antonio Spurs Brooklyn Nets

Net Rating 8.1 -10.2
Offensive Rating 116.6 105.8
Defensive Rating 108.5 116
Turnovers Per Game 12.6 15

Rebounding, Ball Movement & Disruption

San Antonio Spurs has the edge on second chances (0.3), but Brooklyn Nets wins on disruption through steals (8), so this section is a trade. The swing often comes from whether the game is clean enough for rebounding to matter more than live-ball turnovers.

Metric San Antonio Spurs Brooklyn Nets
Rebounds Per Game 47 39.3
Offensive Rebounds 0.3 0.2
Defensive Rebounds 0.8 0.7
