SAN ANTONIO - Guard Manu Ginobili scored 21 points and the San Antonio Spurs won their 10th straight game, beating the Utah Jazz 122-104 on Sunday night (Monday, PHL time).
Ginobili, twisting and turning like a basketball contortionist, made his usual array of driving shots as well as two three-point baskets.
Spurs guard Tony Parker scored 18 points, forward Tim Duncan had 16 and center Tiago Splitter contributed 14 points and 10 rebounds.
San Antonio shot a season-best 62.8 percent from the field and improved to 50-16, the best record in the NBA.
Utah, which has the worst record in the NBA Western Conference at 22-45, did not go down easily. The Jazz scored 23 second-chance points.
Utah forward Derrick Favors had a career-best 28 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Swingman Gordon Hayward added 17 points.
The Jazz trailed by five points with less than five minutes remaining in the third quarter. But during the final two minutes of the quarter, Ginobili made a driving layup, guard Patty Mills knocked down a three-point shot and forward Boris Diaw added a mid-range jumper. The baskets by Mills and Diaw came during the final eight seconds, giving the Spurs a 91-76 lead.
The Spurs led 61-53 at halftime, thanks to a three-pointer by Ginobili with 2.8 seconds remaining.
San Antonio shot a smoking 60.5 percent from the field in the first half - Ginobili and Duncan combined to hit 9-of-11 - but the Spurs failed to open a bigger lead because they struggled to stop Favors and Hayward.
Favors, a 6’10” forward, torched the Spurs for 17 points in the opening half. He converted 7-of-10 shots from the field. Hayward scored 12 points in the first 24 minutes. - Reuters
