The reason for his success Memphis Grizzlies It lies in the depth and stability of his staff. Y 101-93 win over the Miami Heat in a game in which Jaren Jackson Jr. and Ja Morant threw was the best performance. A triumph where he was one of his key men Sandy Aldama as the canary knew how to take his chances better than anyone to record one of his most complete games this season.
The Loyola-bound power forward started as a starter, but importantly was one of five Taylor Jenkins picked to close out the game. Aldama achieved the goals set and produced a sensational performance at both ends of the field. He was accurate on offense and accurate on defense, resulting in actions with high relevance even if it didn’t increase his traditional stats.
Aldama had his best statistical game of the season against the Heat, tying his career-high and fourth double-double. With 18 points on 8 of 12 field goals, including a 2-of-5 triple; 10 rebounds and 1 block the canary completed a flawless evening.
“We had a game yesterday, so we were all a little tired, but that’s the NBA.” He said at the end of the game. “We have the mentality to always step up when someone is missing. Two teammates were missing today, but we came to win.”

This is just another proof that the process of establishing Aldama in the league is on the right track. For the 10th time this season he had double figures in scoring and also for the 10th game he shot over 37% on 3-pointers, two fundamental aspects of establishing himself as a fixture among Taylor Jenkins’ starting lineup.
