This was a lopsided matchup on paper and a 21 - point result indicates just where these teams are right now. It took a monster second half to get there though, as the Spurs won the second half, 61 - 34. They dominated in the paint, as they outrebounded the Suns, 46 - 33 and scored 64 points in the paint in total. The five Phoenix starters combined for just 40 points, with Eric Bledsoe and Marquese Chriss leading them with 13 points a piece. Devin Booker had a nightmare game, as he went 2 - of - 13 from the field to score eight points. T.J. Warren was a lone bright spot, as he scored 24 points off the bench for the Suns. LaMarcus Aldridge continued his great form, as he led the team with 27 points and eight rebounds on 10 - of - 12 shooting. Pau Gasol recorded a 16 - point, 10 - rebound double - double. Tony Parker had one of his best scoring games in the absence of Kawhi Leonard (illness), as he scored 20 points on 10 - of - 16 shooting.
