The San Antonio Spurs held a 17-point led midway through the third quarter when LaMarcus Aldridge caught the ball down in the low-post. With an undersized P.J. Tucker defending him, Aldridge knocked down his 21st point of the game with an “and-one” fade basket.
If this was a regular-season game, Aldridge might have recorded 40 points, as the Rockets handed the Spurs their first win of the preseason in a 128-114 loss Wednesday night inside the Toyota Center in Houston.
Other than Aldridge—who ended the night with 22 points while shooting 84.
