LaMarcus Aldridge scored a career-high 56 points and the Spurs overcame Russell Westbrook’s triple-double to outlast the Oklahoma City Thunder 154-147 in double-overtime. “He carried us,” Spurs point guard Derrick White said. “It was fun to watch.” San Antonio set a franchise record by making its first 14 3-pointers and was 16 of 19 overall from deep, but it still needed two overtime periods to topple Oklahoma City, in part because Westbrook had 24 points, 24 assists and 13 rebounds....

After signing with the Cardinals before this year for one last ride, Albert Pujols looked like a legacy player in the first half of the year. But since the All-Star break, Pujols has become more than a figurehead for the Cardinals. He’s a viable platoon hitter, and it’s translated to a legitimate shot at 700 career home runs.
