The guy who organized the San Antonio Spurs post-Game 7 mega-bash was their very own coach — who paid for a fancy steak dinner, drinks and a party bus to thank his players … TMZ Sports has learned.
Our Spurs sources tell us …Coach Gregg Popovich wanted to show his appreciation to his players after they were eliminated from the playoffs Saturday night … so he organized a night out in Hollywood.
We’re told he set up a post-game steak dinner at Mastros in Beverly Hills … and paid for EVERYTHING (and this place sure as hell ain’t cheap).
Afterward, Pop hired a party bus to chauffeur the guys to Project Club L.A. — and encouraged the team to “take their minds off the game and let loose” … not wallow in their sorrows.
The guys did just that … some harder than others … and as we previously reported, Tim Duncan had to carry at least ONE of his over-intoxicated teammates back to the bus.
Pretty cool boss.
