The 10 Best NBA Playoff Trios Since 2001

T7) 2002-03 San Antonio Spurs

Lineup: Speedy Claxton, Manu Ginobili, Stephen Jackson

Net Rating: 30.6

Almost 10 years earlier, the Spurs were still in the earlier stages of their dominant years. And unlike 2012, they won a title in 2003. Their star players were Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, but this quasi-bench lineup was just as key to their first championship of the 21st century.

In just over 126 minutes together, the trio played at a slightly faster pace of 94.7 possessions per 48 minutes. However, per 100 possessions, they averaged 9.4 fewer field goal attempts than their opponents while shooting with efficiency from the floor. Their field goal percentage, three-point percentage and effective field goal percentage were all more than 13.0% better than their opponents while they were on the court together.
