NBA Note - San Antonio Spurs Aldridge, LaMarcus

Oct 22, 2017 - 9:02 AM F LaMarcus Aldridge scored 28 points and had 10 rebounds, and the Spurs scored 23 points off of turnovers in an 87-77 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night.

Aldridge continued to be the centerpiece on offense as he picks up the slack of the injured Leonard, will still be out for several weeks with right quadriceps tendinopathy.

"(Leonard) is our main guy and so now that he's out, I'm just trying to help carry the offense a little bit until he's back," Aldridge said.

Aldridge did that and more Saturday night.

"L.A. was just a difference maker for us with the way he scored," Popovich said. "The defense in the second half and L.A.'s offense was what (made the difference)."
