Thunder-Spurs Preview

Tim Duncan and Tony Parker are out with sore left ankles. One of them should return Saturday night, but coach Gregg Popovich won't say which.

The Spurs, looking to improve to 5-0 at home, hope one of their superstars will be back when they face the Oklahoma City Thunder.

San Antonio (4-3) played without Duncan and Parker on Wednesday, but still managed to beat Dallas 92-83. Popovich said one will likely return Saturday, although he didn't hint as to who it would be.

Both missed the first two games of this three-game homestand, but San Antonio hasn't missed a beat.

Richard Jefferson, acquired in the offseason from Milwaukee, has averaged a team-high 26.5 points in the last two games. He had 29 on Wednesday.

"I remember walking out in the second half and we were starting four guys that are new for this team," he said. "To have a little success, to give some new guys some extra minutes in the season, is good."

Manu Ginobili has averaged 24.5 points per game without Duncan and Parker.

Popovich has rotated his frontcourt starters in Duncan's absence, using Michael Finley and Theo Ratliff in Monday's win over Toronto and Antonio McDyess and rookie DeJuan Blair on Wednesday. Blair leads all rookies with a 7.3 rebounding average.

Perhaps the most surprising development for San Antonio has been the emergence of Keith Bogans, who signed with the team Sept. 25 and started the last three games. He scored 13 points Wednesday and has developed into a defensive stopper, replacing the retired Bruce Bowen.

"My job is defense, first and foremost - when a shot is there I will take it," Bogans said. "I'm always ready to go whether I start or not. Without Tim and Tony, there is a big chance for others to play."

Bogans could have his hands full Saturday if he matches up with fellow Washington, D.C.-area native Kevin Durant, who is averaging 27.0 points per game for Oklahoma City (4-4). That's the same average Durant had against the Spurs last season as the teams split four meetings.

Durant scored 30 points and hit the winning jumper with 38 seconds to go in an 83-79 road victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. He added 10 boards for his third double-double.

"It feels good to know that my team has the confidence in me to take those," Durant said. "The last game and a couple of games before that I didn't hit them, but tonight they fell for me."

Point guard Russell Westbrook suffered an ankle injury that he played through Wednesday, but it doesn't appear he will miss any action. Westbrook averaged 18.2 points in his first six games before scoring a total of 11 the last two.

The Thunder beat the Clippers despite posting their second-lowest point total of the season.

"It was just toughness. We didn't score a lot of points, and I don't think we shot good from the field," guard Kevin Ollie said. "Our starting point guard was out there limping a little bit, so we just gutted out and we did it on the defensive end, which we've been doing a lot in our games this season."

With Ginobili on bench, Thunder knock off Spurs

SAN ANTONIO (NBA.com exclusive) -- The Spurs added plenty of new faces this season in hopes of another title run. But those hopes, right now, are supported by uneasy legs.

On the night Tim Duncan and Tony Parker both returned from left-ankle injuries, a hamstring muscle tightened up on Manu Ginobili. He missed all of the fourth quarter and the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated San Antonio 101-98 to give the Spurs their first home loss of the season.

With Ginobili on the bench, the Spurs (4-4) lacked punch late. When the Spurs trailed Toronto by two points heading into the fourth quarter on Monday, Ginobili hit 4-for-5 shots (he was actually 4-for-4 from 3-point territory) and also had two blocks to lead San Antonio to a seven-point victory.

"I kept him out because of the hamstring," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "He hasn't been able to practice on it since the Dallas game [on Wednesday] and it tightened up on him again.

"I thought it was best to be conservative and not have that hamstring get worse and lose him for a longer period. It was a close call, but I would do the same thing again and sit him with that tight hamstring for sure."

So the Spurs first turned to Richard Jefferson for a chance to cut Oklahoma City's 97-94 lead with less than 20 seconds left. Jefferson had been shooting 57 percent and averaging 21 points in the last five games.

But he was 1-for-4 for four points in 35 minutes against OKC, and he appeared to dribble the ball off his leg and turned it over with 15 seconds left. Thabo Sefolosha said he got a hand on it and deflected it. He appeared to say something to Jefferson as he fell to the floor after the loose ball.

"Not much," Sefolosha said. "He didn't have a very good game, so I didn't think he was that confident. I kind of sensed that.

"He actually had a pretty good move. I know he kind of likes going right, and he faked left and went right and I was able to deflect it away."

Parker's 3-point shot from 34 feet missed at the buzzer. Oklahoma City (5-4) started 3-29 last season and didn't get its fifth win until Jan 6.

The Thunder split four games with the Spurs last season, and this time, Russell Westbrook caused problems. Westbrook dished out six assists in the third quarter -- his season average -- to help the Thunder dig out from a seven-point halftime deficit to a four-point lead heading into a Ginobili-less fourth.

For the game, Westbrook was 7-for-13 for 19 points and 11 assists. Kevin Durant scored 25 (he hit 13-for-15 free throws, including 8-for-9 in the first quarter). Jeff Green had 21 points and 10 rebounds.

Duncan led San Antonio with 22 points and 10 rebounds, but the Spurs were beat inside by losing the points-in-the-paint battle 54-44 and second-chance points 20-4.

"They had more people play better," Popovich said. "They deserved it."

That was especially true in the third with Westbrook. Ahead 70-69, Westbrook hit a short jumper and had two-straight assists to Krstic for midrange jumpers.

Krstic finished with 11 points on 5-for-11 shooting.

"Neno is a good helper," Westbrook said. "He knows where to spot up. It's just us playing basketball at that point."

The Thunder led by as many as seven in the first quarter when the Spurs committed four fouls on Durant, including a Keith Bogans grab on Durant as he flung up a wild 3-pointer that missed. But Durant, an 86-percent foul shooter, knocked down all three and was 8-for-9 from the line while playing all 12 minutes of the opening period.

But the Spurs rallied to tie the game 4 ½ minutes into the second quarter before outscoring Oklahoma City 12-2 during the next 3:45.

And San Antonio did that mostly on defensive lapses by the Thunder. All of the field goals came on layups, including Duncan's fast break behind the defense and the next trip up the floor when Parker hesitated down low and went ahead with the layup when Durant failed to get over on him.
