Print Edition
KAWHI Leonard scored 27 points and LaMarcus Aldridge added 23 as the San Antonio Spurs beat the Detroit Pistons 97-81 on Wednesday night to clinch their 19th straight NBA playoff berth.
San Antonio (51-9) won its 29th straight home game to open the season in its first game following a month-long road trip brought on by the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo.
San Antonio joins Golden State as the only teams to clinch spots in the postseason.
The Spurs own the second-longest active playoff streak among the four major professional sports, trailing only the NHL’s Detroit Red Wings (24).
Leonard and Aldridge excelled against a Detroit team thinned by injuries to forwards Anthony Tolliver and Stanley Johnson. Aldridge added 10 rebounds and Leonard had six rebounds and five assists for San Antonio, which has won six straight.
Detroit center Andre Drummond had nine points and 14 rebounds, ending his career-high and the league’s season-high of consecutive double-doubles at 13 straight.
Elsewhere on Wednesday, it was: Hornets 119, 76ers 99; Magic 102, Bulls 89; Raptors 104, Jazz 94; Celtics 116, Trail Blazers 93; Wizards 104, Timberwolves 98; Pacers 104, Bucks 99; Grizzlies 104, Kings 98; Rockets 100, Pelicans 95; Nuggets 117, Lakers 107; and Clippers 103, Thunder 98.
