Down by four points, 90-86, Spurs guard DeMar DeRozan missed a layup attempt with just under 30 seconds remaining and the Nuggets rebounded with about 28 seconds left. It was an obvious foul situation if the Spurs wanted to come back and win the game.
Apparently they didn’t really care, or didn’t know any better.
Popovich was screaming for his team to foul and they couldn’t hear him:
one of the biggest reasons why earning home court still matters: so crazy loud in Pepsi Center at the end of Game 7 none of the Spurs heard the coaching staff screaming for a foul. Game ends. Season over. pic.twitter.com/mz4XoEHfM0

Popovich gave his explanation post game:

If your entire season ends because your players couldn’t hear you, that’s awfully sad.
What’s even worse is they didn’t know to foul on their own.
