February 18, 1986- at this point in NBA history, only one player, Nate Thurman, had recorded a quadruple-double (obtaining over 10 in four statistical categories). But on this night, a second player hit that mark. The only guard of four players to ever do it, and the only one to have steals be one of the categories.
In San Antonio, Alvin Robertson went for 20 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, and 10 steals against the Phoenix Suns. His quadruple-double came on 8-17 shooting from the field and 4-6 from the free-throw line.
Roberston is one of those transcendent players who kept the Spurs relevant during their dark season where they either got booted from the playoffs in the first round or didn’t make the postseason at all.
