For over a decade the San Antonio Spurs have been one of the best at adjusting to setbacks and not following the trend.
The Spurs gave the Heat a demonstration of both on Wednesday night.
Despite playing without injured All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard and guard Tony Parker, the Heat (without Hassan Whiteside) couldn’t handle LaMarcus Aldridge and San Antonio’s frontcourt in a 117-100 loss at AmericanAirlines Arena.
Aldridge led the Spurs with 31 points on 12 of 18 shooting and the Spurs outrebounded the Heat 45-32.
The Spurs shot 55.3 percent to the Heat’s 45.
