SAN ANTONIO -- Donovan Mitchell came close to spoiling a vintage performance by LaMarcus Aldridge, who scored a career-high 45 points Friday night to push the San Antonio Spurs past the Utah Jazz 124-120 in an overtime barn burner at the AT&T Center.
Aldridge's bucket in traffic with 34.7 seconds left capped the finest scoring night of his career.
Mitchell's heroic fourth quarter nearly ruined it all though, as he scored 14 points over the last six minutes and sent it into overtime on a 26-foot 3-pointer with 3.
