Two extensions (58 minutes of play), five records broken and 301 points scored in total (154-147). The least we can say is that the Spurs / Thunder of January 11, 2019 was daunting.
During this meeting of madness, won at the end of the suspense by San Antonio, LaMarcus Aldridge (38 years old today) took the opportunity to establish the best mark of his career in scoring: 56 points, 20/33 in shooting and 16/16 in free throws (with 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks, in 49 minutes)!
A real show of force from “LMA”, one of the specialists in mid-distance play and post play, who stole the show from Paul George, Russell Westbrook and DeMar DeRozan that evening. By taking malicious pleasure in playing Jerami Grant and especially Steven Adams, unable to slow down the seven-time All-Star without making a mistake, from anywhere on the field.
It should also be noted that LaMarcus Aldridge has also confirmed his tendency to hit against OKC with the San Antonio jersey. In 24 regular season and playoff games, between 2015 and 2021, he posted against this opponent averages of 22.5 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.3 against, at 52% in shooting, 36% in 3pts and 86% in throws.
With a peak of 56 units, therefore, but also performances of 41 points, 39 points and 38 points.
Four and a half years after this XXL performance, the former interior of the Blazers has retired for good, and we gladly revel in the highlights of the one who will remain one of the best attackers in the history of his position (20,558 career points, the 46th highest total all time).
