They wound up losing to the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals in seven games.

They decided to bring their team back for the 2013-2014 season and wound up defeating the Heat in just five games, blowing them out in each of the last three games. They will be once again bringing back their core next season. They’ve already re-signed big man Boris Diaw and point guard Patty Mills.

Now they have agreed to a deal with veteran big man Matt Bonner.

Bonner texted Mike Monroe of The San Antonio Express News to inform him that he would be returning to the Spurs.
