Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge was a man possessed in the first quarter of Sunday's Game 1 of the Western Conference finals against the Warriors.
Aldridge put up 11 points, three rebounds and three assists in the first quarter, and punctuated it with a ridiculous dunk over Draymond Green and JaVale McGee as the quarter ended.
WOW!

Just for the record, Green is considered probably the best defender in the NBA, and McGee is about 8-feet tall with a 12-foot wingspan so, yeah, not bad, LMA.
Thanks in large part to Aldridge's performance, the Spurs led 30-16 after the first frame. The Spurs big man has been inconsistent in the playoffs, but had his best game of the year with 34 points in San Antonio's Game 6 win over the Rockets.
