The Spurs got their four-game Eastern Conference road trip started on the right foot on Friday, improving to .500 with a win against the Pacers. Would a blowout have been better in order to let their starters rest for tomorrow’s SEGABABA in Milwaukee? Sure!
DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge got things started with two pick and rolls going left on back to back plays in the first minute. One led to a DeRozan pullup, the next to a LaMarcus jumper off the pick and pop. Aldridge followed it up with an aggressive drive to the rim, and feeding him seemed to be one of the points of emphasis for the Spurs against a thin and undersized Pacers back line.
