For the second straight game, the Spurs found themselves in a deep hole, but on Friday the good guys were able to make the game competitive. DeMar DeRozan led the team with 29 points and LaMarcus Aldridge scored 26. Additionally, Keldon Johnson grabbed a career high 14 rebounds to notch a double-double with his 17 points. Despite losing Dejounte Murray early to an ankle sprain, the Spurs showed out better in this game with the return of their three point shooting.
In fact, the team’s leader in made threes for the night was none other than Aldridge who drained 4 out 7:
