Historical Context

The NBA expanded in 1976 by merging with the ABA, adding four teams: the Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, San Antonio Spurs, and New York Nets. This merger, following years of competition and negotiations, enhanced the league's competitiveness and introduced a faster-paced style of play.
