SAN ANTONIO -- The previous time the Spurs and Golden State Warriors squared
off, it was all about sharp shooting from both teams.
New Balance 574 UK . That was in the second
round of the Western Conference playoffs last season, which San Antonio won in
six games. On Friday night, defence took over, particularly in the final 2:23,
when the two teams were a combined 0 for 8 from the field. Tony Parker provided
a late surge for the second consecutive game by scoring 18 points, including the
last seven for the Spurs as they held off the Warriors 76-74. "Again, Tony made
some huge buckets to keep the lead when we were dry," Spurs guard Manu Ginobili
said. Parker, who scored 15 of the Spurs final 16 points in a victory over
Phoenix two nights earlier, left the AT&T Center immediately after the win
and was not available to the media. Golden State star guard Stephan Curry did
not play after bruising his left ankle Wednesday night against Minnesota. Minus
him, the Spurs won their 30th straight regular-season home game against the
Warriors. But they still had a chance to end the streak after Parker missed two
free throws with 16.4 seconds remaining. Andre Iguodala drove to the basket and
tried a layup that rolled off the rim at the buzzer. "I got a decent shot off,"
Iguodala said. "Tim (Duncan) did a good job of making me alter the shot a little
bit." After Golden States David Lee hit two free throws with 2:23 left, both
teams failed to find the basket. "Were two teams that lay a solid foundation of
solid defensive principles," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "It was a grind
out there. It was tough to score on both sides." Golden State entered the night
ranked second in the league in field goal percentage at slightly over 50 per
cent. But a stout San Antonio defence held the Warriors to 40 per cent.
"Overall, theyre a hard team to guard, so I thought the defence was some of the
better defence weve played this year," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "(We)
did a lot of one-on-one on the post and one-on-one on the perimeter. We
certainly couldnt put it in the basket, so the defence was really important for
us tonight." Kawhi Leonard added 13 points for the Spurs, who improved to a
conference-best 5-1. Toney Douglas came off the bench to lead Golden State with
20 points. Lee added 13 and Clay Thompson had 11. The Spurs shot 39.2 per cent
from the field, marking the fifth time in six games this season that Golden
State held its opponent to under 40 per cent from the field. San Antonio jumped
out to an early double-digit lead, but struggled in the second quarter, hitting
just two field goals in the first seven minutes. Still, the Spurs managed to
maintain the lead by plugging their big men in the middle and forcing Golden
State to take outside jumpers. NOTES: With the win, Duncan and Parker are now
No. 4 all-time in league history for victories by teammates with 597. ...
Harrison Barnes, who missed the Warriors first four games of the season with
left toe inflammation, made his first start of the season, filling in for Curry.
Barnes scored five points. ... Spurs F Matt Bonner missed his second straight
game with tightness in his left calf. ... The Spurs regular-season home winning
streak against Golden State is their longest active string against any team. The
Warriors, however, won at San Antonio in last seasons playoffs.

103-93 victory at Washington thanks to Kyle Lowrys 24 points and 10 assists. "I
just was getting more looks, trying to attack a little more," said Lowry. "That
first game out of the break is always tough and I didnt want to let that be an
excuse for us to lose the game." DeMar DeRozan, Amir Johnson and Greivis Vasquez
scored 14 points apiece, and both Patrick Patterson and Jonas Valanciunas netted
10. The Raptors made 42- of-74 shots (56.8 percent) and have won three straight
and nine of the last 13 contests. Toronto now leads the Atlantic Division by

Wednesdays road matchup in Toronto. The Bulls and Raptors are jockeying for
playoff positioning in the Eastern Conference, as Chicago sits fourth in the

and returned to post 15 points and 10 rebounds. Mike Dunleavy, Jimmy Butler and
All-Star Joakim Noah all scored 14 points with Noah grabbing 13 rebounds. "We
have to look at our team in totality. For us to achieve, we need Carlos to play
well. With our depth up front, we have three starters and they all have to
sacrifice," Tom Thibodeau. Noah has pulled down 10 or more rebounds in 23 of his
last 24 games, and tallied eight points, five boards and five assists in the
All-Star Game. "I had a great time. Im a little tired, but theres time to rest,"

feels good to win no matter what situation. I like competing. It was fun." The
