Season 51, Game 62
San Antonio 116, New Orleans 121
36-26, 5th in the West
With a healthy LaMarcus Aldridge for the entire game, the Spurs likely win this.
Even without Aldridge, the Spurs completely blew this game late, giving up a sure-fire win in the final minutes of regulation.
Both things are true. Playing without their star and best player, the Spurs were still primed to get this much-needed win at home after a very poor Rodeo Road Trip. For 46 minutes, the Spurs looked really good, zipping the ball around and playing unselfish basketball to keep the Pelicans at bay.
