Aldridge should have been awarded three foul shots after Marc Gasol made contact with his arm and body on the final shot of the game, but no call was made.
The play immediately followed Spurs forward Rudy Gay being whistled for a debated foul on Gasol at the other end. Gasol hit both free throws to put Memphis up 104-103. The official's report upheld that call as correct.
The win was the West-leading Grizzlies' fifth straight, while the Spurs have now lost five of six.
