The Spurs’ final sprint to the playoffs started tonight with a road game against a Raptors team that’s second in the East, and has a couple of guys who were Spurs this time last year. Toronto was determined to keep the ball out of LaMarcus Aldridge’s hands, bringing double teams whenever he touched the ball. But everyone else stepped up and the good guys had a two point lead with less than a minute to go. But it wasn’t to be as the Raps closed the game out with some excellent defense and won by three.
Miscellaneous Observations
- Despite the 1-4 start this month, the Spurs have won a staggering 67% (91-45) of their Rodeo Road trip games in franchise history.
