Season 51, Game 42
San Antonio 107, Sacramento 100
28-14, 4th in the West
4 high-end rotation players did not play.
3/5ths of the starting lineup combined for a mere 10 points.
The Spurs have mastered the “one hand tied behind the back” game this season, so Monday’s result in Sacramento after a dispiriting loss in Portland the night before shouldn’t be surprising.
LaMarcus Aldridge was a stud, yet again. 31 points and 12 rebounds only tells part of the story. He was an absolute monster on the floor, sprinting from end to end on every change of possession. His jumper was locked in. But more importantly, he ran himself into at least 10 easy points, getting baskets in transition off missed layups and offensive rebounds. He was easily the best player on the floor.
Not far behind him, though, was Davis Bertans.
