The Spurs came into Wednesday’s game against the Suns with a 4-2 record but boasting the point differential of a 2-4 team. They beat mediocre opponents on close games that could have gone either way but lacked a convincing win. Facing their first truly bad opponent, they had a perfect opportunity to get one.
They did just that by dismantling the shorthanded Suns in a matchup in which the result was never in question. LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan led the way to the 120-90 win by combining for 49 points on just 25 shots despite resting the entire fourth quarter.
