T7) 2011-12 San Antonio Spurs

Lineup: Boris Diaw, Tim Duncan, Danny Green

Net Rating: 30.6

The 2011-12 San Antonio Spurs were probably one of the best teams in recent history that didn't reach the NBA Finals. Instead of making their way to the final destination, the Spurs fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder in six games in the conference finals.

On their way to doing so, however, the Spurs were a highly efficient machine, with eight wins in eight playoff games. In a total of 12 games and 170 minutes, this particular three-man group yielded an effective field goal percentage 14.6% above their opponents' on 8.4 more attempts and 14.7 more makes per 100 possessions.
