San Antonio concluded its brief road trip with more continued hot shooting and a yeoman’s performance by its bench in its hard-earned win against New Orleans. The Spurs were bolstered by LaMarcus Aldridge (32 points and 14 rebounds), DeMar DeRozan (20 points and 5 rebounds), and 40 points from the bench. New Orleans was led by Brandon Ingram (22 points) and rookie Zion Williamson (22 points and 7 rebounds).
