In order to beat a good team like the Thunder without their best player, the Spurs need great production from LaMarcus Aldridge, and tonight he was stymied by the Thunder’s aggressive double teams and harassing defense. He’s been the best player for the Spurs all year, but tonight he couldn’t carry the team, and no one else was able to step up. The Thunder got good production from their bench players and Russell Westbrook put in his typical game, he got to every loose ball as OKC won easily with a surprise contribution from 37 year old Nick Collison who was forced into action after Steven Adams sprained his ankle.
