Spurs take series opener

LAMARCUS Aldridge scored a season-high 38 points in just three quarters on Saturday as the San Antonio Spurs stormed to a 124-92 victory over Oklahoma City in Game 1 of their NBA playoffs second-round series.

The Spurs built a 23-point lead in the first quarter — when they connected on 81.8 percent of their shots — and the rout was on in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals in San Antonio. Kawhi Leonard added 25 points, five rebounds and five assists for the Spurs, who never trailed and led by as many as 43. With the luxury of resting their starters in the fourth quarter, San Antonio will try to build on its hot start when it hosts Game 2 of the best-of-seven series tomorrow. Serge Ibaka led the Thunder with 19 points. Kevin Durant scored 16 and Russell Westbrook added 14 points and nine assists for Oklahoma City.
