Little was made during this series, as the Spurs won their first NBA championship only two years before.

During the 2005 offseason, <a href="/wiki/Michael_Finley" title="Michael Finley">Michael Finley</a>, who was waived by the Mavericks under the amnesty clause, joined the Spurs in search for the elusive title. </p><p>During the 2006 playoffs, the two rivals met again. San Antonio won the first game at home 87–85. The Mavericks got revenge the next game, winning 113–91 and evening the series up at 1–1. The Mavericks then won a dramatic Game 3 by a single point, 104–103. Though Manu Ginóbili could have made a game-winning basket with five seconds on the clock, he committed an error, allowing the ball to bounce away from him with one second remaining. Dallas won a tightly contested Game 4 123–118 in overtime. The Spurs proceeded to avoid elimination by taking Game 5. In the final seconds of the game, Jason Terry was seen punching former teammate Michael Finley under the belt, leading to his suspension for Game 6. He was sorely missed as the Spurs won, taking the series back home for a Game 7. In the crucial Game 7, with 2.6 seconds to go, Nowitzki converted a three-point play to force overtime. <a href="/wiki/Manu_Gin%C3%B3bili" title="Manu Ginóbili">Manu Ginóbili</a>, who fouled Dirk on the play, had just given San Antonio their first lead one possession earlier. Tim Duncan, who had played in all 48 minutes of regulation, was too fatigued to carry his team in overtime. The Mavericks, meanwhile, were set to take control of the game and they did just that, winning 119–111. The Mavericks went on to the Conference Finals where they defeated the Suns in six games, but succumbed to the champion Heat in the NBA Finals. This series was notable due to controversy in regards to both teams being forced to meet in the Western Conference Semifinals and not the Western Conference Finals. This was because despite both teams having the two best records in the Western Conference, all division champions were guaranteed at least the third seed at the time. Since both teams resided in the same division and Dallas finished second behind the Spurs, the Mavericks was forced into the fourth seed. Since neither team was upset, and the playoff format is a fixed bracket, this series was viewed as taking place earlier in the playoffs than it was supposed to. This led to a modification in division champions only guaranteed at least the fourth seed to prevent this from happening again (this change would last until <a href="/wiki/2016_NBA_playoffs" title="2016 NBA playoffs">2016</a>). </p><p>Despite much anticipation of a renewed meeting in the 2007 Western Conference Finals, the Mavericks lost to the Golden State Warriors in one of the greatest upsets in NBA history.

As Duncan was heading into the locker room, <a href="/wiki/American_Airlines_Center" title="American Airlines Center">American Airlines Center</a> erupted into a huge cheer, applauding Duncan's ejection. The game saw chippy play, with <a href="/wiki/Jerry_Stackhouse" title="Jerry Stackhouse">Jerry Stackhouse</a> and <a href="/wiki/Manu_Gin%C3%B3bili" title="Manu Ginóbili">Manu Ginóbili</a> getting into an altercation after a rebound. </p><p>In the 2009 NBA Playoffs, the Mavericks and Spurs squared off again in the first round. The Spurs and Mavericks split the first two games in San Antonio, but Dallas defeated the Spurs in games 3 and 4, both in Dallas. The Mavericks then went on to close out the series and eliminated the Spurs at the AT&T Center in San Antonio. </p><p>In 2010, the Dallas Mavericks matched up against the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the Western Conference Playoffs. Although the Mavericks managed to obtain the number two seed, they were defeated by the Spurs in six games. </p><p>During the 2011 playoffs, a role reversal of sorts occurred between the two rivals, when the top seeded Spurs were defeated by the eighth seeded <a href="/wiki/Memphis_Grizzlies" title="Memphis Grizzlies">Memphis Grizzlies</a>, the first time an eight seed defeated a one seed since the infamous Mavs–Warriors series of 2007. In addition, the Mavericks defeated the LeBron James–led <a href="/wiki/Miami_Heat" title="Miami Heat">Miami Heat</a> in the NBA Finals, similar again to how the 2007 Spurs defeated a LeBron James–led <a href="/wiki/Cleveland_Cavaliers" title="Cleveland Cavaliers">Cleveland Cavaliers</a> team in the Finals. </p><p>The Mavericks were swept in the <a href="/wiki/2012%E2%80%9313_NBA_season" title="2012–13 NBA season">2012–13 NBA season</a> by the Spurs for the first time since the <a href="/wiki/1997%E2%80%9398_NBA_season" title="1997–98 NBA season">1997–98 NBA season</a>, Tim Duncan's rookie season.
