Season 51, Game 76
San Antonio 103, Oklahoma City 99
44-32, 4th in the West
In February, I would have guessed another four to six game losing streak was coming. Hell, I would have guessed that earlier in March too. But the San Antonio Spurs, fresh off two embarrassing road losses to the Milwaukee Bucks and Washington Wizards, found a way to take down Oklahoma City at home. And whew, it was nice to see San Antonio prevent their previous two losses from snowballing into something worse, I’ll tell you what.
Led by – who else – LaMarcus Aldridge, the Spurs got just enough from their players to not only win the game, but improve to fourth in the Western Conference. With just six games left, San Antonio sits 2.5 games behind Portland, and only 2.5 games ahead of the L.A. Clippers in 9th place. This is to say that every game really matters at this point in the season, and we should all be extremely thankful Aldridge is along for the ride.
