Spurs' LaMarcus Aldridge: Scores 23 versus Hornets

Aldridge notched 23 points (8-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks, and a steal in 37 minutes in a 119-114 win over the Hornets on Wednesday.

Analysis:

Aldridge rested Monday, which makes sense considering how important he is and also because he plays well over 30 minutes a night on average. While Aldridge isn't quite averaging 20 points per game at the moment, he's scored at least 31 in his last three games, and he's only missed one free throw in his last six outings.
