Another game, another career night for LaMarcus Aldridge. With the Spurs in desperate need of a win to stop a two-game skid that has placed them in sole possession of the 8th seed (for now), the Spurs rode their All Star for a relatively comfortable win over the struggling but still formidable Boston Celtics on their own court.
With 48 points, 13 rebounds, and 6 assists, it was the second-highest point total of his career (surpassed only by his 56-point outing in 2OT against the Thunder on January 10), highest scoring night on the road, and tied a career-high for 20 field goals made.
