Cavaliers-Spurs Preview

After clinching the best start in team history, the San Antonio Spurs will try to extend their win streak into double digits when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night.

San Antonio improved to 10-1 for the first time with a 94-82 win in Utah on Friday night. Despite facing potential distractions surrounding his impending divorce, Tony Parker led the way with 24 points, his fifth straight game with at least 21.

Tim Duncan also surpassed David Robinson as the franchise's all-time leading scorer in the team's ninth consecutive victory.

"It was a great win for us," Duncan said. "It was not particularly pretty, kind of ups and downs, but great defensively and great to get that milestone behind me."

The Spurs are on their longest run since winning 11 straight Feb. 11-March 6, 2008, but are no strangers to lengthy win streaks since coach Gregg Popovich took over during the 1996-97 campaign.

Popovich led San Antonio to an 11-game win streak to end the 2003-04 campaign then six more consecutive victories to open the playoffs. The Spurs have also won 13 in a row three times during his tenure.

San Antonio won a franchise-record 17 straight during the regular season Feb. 29-March 31, 1996.

A matchup with a Cleveland team that's dropped three of four could help the Spurs extend their run, but they might not want to take the Cavaliers too lightly.

Cleveland fell 108-101 in New Orleans on Friday night but rallied from a 19-point halftime deficit to get within three with 21 seconds left. A turnover and a pair of missed shots kept the Cavaliers (5-6) from extending their road win streak to four.

With its late run, Cleveland became the first team to score at least 100 points on the Hornets, who had previously allowed an average of 91.3.

"I am very proud of our guys. We showed a lot of character tonight," coach Byron Scott said. "We got down ... and we didn't mail it in. We kept playing and got it to where if we get a couple of breaks here and there, we had an opportunity. There were a lot of positives."

The Cavaliers have won seven of nine over the Spurs but could struggle in their first matchup without LeBron James, who averaged 32.4 points over that stretch, on their roster. Cleveland, though, beat San Antonio 97-95 in his absence March 8 at home.

Despite three players putting up at least 20 points, the Cavaliers fell 102-97 on March 26 in San Antonio as Manu Ginobili scored half of his 30 in the fourth quarter. Ginobili has averaged 29.8 points on 57 percent shooting in his last five games against Cleveland.

Duncan, meanwhile, has averaged 11.7 points - nearly 10 below his career average - in his last three matchups with the Cavaliers.

Cleveland's Antawn Jamison has scored in double digits off the bench in all five games since returning from a sore left knee Nov. 9. He had a season-high 20 points and 11 rebounds in Friday's loss and scored 24 points in his previous trip to San Antonio.

Spurs win 10th straight with rout of Cavaliers

SAN ANTONIO(AP) Stockpile wins early: That's what the San Antonio Spurs emphasized in training camp after paying the price for a lumbering start last year.

But they probably didn't imagine this.

Tony Parker scored 19 points and the Spurs won their 10th in a row, improving their NBA-best record to 11-1 with a 116-92 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night, keeping the best San Antonio start in franchise history rolling.

"Great run for us," Spurs forward Tim Duncan said. "It's a good start for us. There's going to be some ups and downs this season, but this team is built on what we did last year."

Reaching the Western Conference semifinals, where they were swept by Phoenix, happened no thanks to an uneven start in November. The Spurs were 6-6 at this stage last season, ultimately taking so long to hit their stride that the No. 7 seed in the West was the best they could muster.

Rookie Tiago Splitter, in the 7-footer's biggest game since the Spurs made him their marquee addition this summer, scored 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting. Richard Jefferson scored 14 points and Manu Ginobili had 13.

"We need the wins early this year compared to last year down the stretch," Ginobili said. "In March and April, we put a lot of pressure on us."

Mo Williams scored 21 points and Daniel Gibson had 17 for the Cavaliers, who played a night after losing on the road to New Orleans - the only team to beat San Antonio so far.

The Hornets are 10-1, which made for a grueling back-to-back for the Cavaliers, who have lost four of five.

"We wanted to use these two games as a measuring stick," said forward Antawn Jamison, who scored 12 points. "We showed signs, but it's just not consistent 48 minutes to be able to compete against these two teams."

The Cavaliers trailed 64-57 at halftime. Back in the locker room before the third quarter, coach Byron Scott let his players decide how to defend San Antonio's pick-and-roll.

Scott said it was the first time he's left that decision to his players.

"It might be the last, too," Scott said.

Aside from adding Splitter - a first-round Spurs pick in 2007 who stayed in Europe until now - the roster for the Spurs didn't change much since a year ago.

But they certainly don't look the same.

The second-highest scoring team in the NBA behind the Los Angeles Lakers, the Spurs pulled away with a barrage of 3-pointers and a 14-6 burst in the third quarter after Cleveland trailed by seven at halftime. The 24-point win was the most lopsided Spurs victory this season.

Williams was 9 of 15 and had six assists, but was the only starter in double figures for the Cavaliers.

The Spurs made 12 of 25 from behind the 3-point line and had a season-high 32 assists, including nine from Parker. Matt Bonner, who hit four 3s, had 12 points.

The way the Spurs are scoring, Jefferson said it reminds him of the Suns.

The way they passed the ball against the Cavaliers, meanwhile, reminded him off his former team.

"That's a lot. That's up there with New Jersey, and we had Jason Kidd," Jefferson said. "With him, when our best player is probably one of the top two or three passers in the history of the game, it become contagious."

Cleveland led by one going into the second quarter, but couldn't keep up while the Spurs shot 63 percent heading into halftime. Ginobili scored all of his 13 points in the second quarter.

Notes: The last time the Spurs won 11 in a row was late in the 2008 season. Their longest streak a year ago was five games. ... Cavaliers center Ryan Hollins was ejected in the fourth quarter when he brought down Splitter with his forearm. Said Scott after the game: "In 1980s that's a regular foul. Get up and play. I know what the league is trying to do and I understand that." Splitter didn't seem to mind, either, saying, "I don't care."

Cavaliers-Spurs notebook

By Tim Price, for NBA.com
Posted Saturday November 20, 2010 11:55PM

THE FACTS: Tony Parker led the Spurs with 19 points, the fifth-straight game he's led in scoring, and rookie Tiago Splitter contributed 18 points in relief of Tim Duncan as San Antonio (11-1) extended its franchise-best start to a season with a 116-92 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday at AT&T Center. While the Cavaliers (5-7) have lost four of their last five, the Spurs have won 10-straight and have the best record in the NBA.

QUOTABLE: "Tony has been doing a good job of running the show. He's finding different people, and I'm sure it's fun for him to find Tiago (Splitter) rolling to the basket the way he does." -- Spurs coach Gregg Popovich

THE STAT: The Cavaliers missed four-straight free throws -- five out of six overall during a two-minute stretch of the second quarter -- that allowed the Spurs to go on a 21-9 run to open the second quarter. San Antonio led by 11 with seven minutes before halftime, and the closest the Cavs could get after that was four.

TURNING POINT: With Duncan getting the start in the second night of a tough back-to-back upon returning from Utah, he came out early in favor of Splitter. Entering less than four minutes into the game, Splitter quickly blocked a shot and finished the first quarter by hitting 2-of-3 shots and also adding a steal and pair of rebounds. His energy kept the game close and set up the Spurs for their decisive run in the second quarter.

QUOTABLE II: "I knew (Splitter) was a good basketball player, but I didn't expect him to come in and play the way he played." -- Cavaliers coach Byron Scott

HOT: Manu Ginobili in the second quarter. Ginobili finished with 13 points on 4-of-7 shooting, and almost all of that came in the first 8 1/2 minutes of the decisive second quarter. He hit 4-of-5 shots, including a pair of 3-pointers, and added 3-of-4 free throws in the quarter. He finished his time on the floor +23 for the night.

NOT: The Cavaliers shot 50 percent in the fourth quarter, but they were outshot 21-14 and went through a stretch of three minutes where they failed to score and watched an eight-point deficit grow to 25 with 5 1/2 minutes to go.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: In the five-straight games Parker has led the Spurs he's averaged 22.4 points, even though his 19 points against Cleveland was his lowest point total during that stretch. He's also averaged 6.6 assists and has shot 66 percent.

GOOD MOVE: Duncan played only 17 minutes, but he used them wisely and let Splitter take most of the workload. He had five assists and took the rest of the night off when he came to the bench with six minutes left in the third quarter. He has Dwight Howard to face when the Orlando Magic come to town Monday.

BAD MOVE: Ryan Hollins, though he's an 80-percent free-throw shooter this season, missed 3-of-4 foul shots during the decisive Spurs run in the second quarter.

ROOKIE WATCH: Splitter, the Brazilian who's played the past two seasons in Spain, was 7-of-10 and had three rebounds and a pair of blocked shots in 26 minutes. His most extensive playing time previously had been 19 minutes, and he did not play (coached decision) the past two games.

NOTABLE: The Cavaliers were assessed a flagrant 2 foul for the second night in a row when Hollins' arm hit Splitter in the face as Splitter was going in for a basket in the fourth quarter. Joey Graham got the flagrant 2 the night before in New Orleans. Hollins also picked up a flagrant 1 at New Orleans. All three flagrants came in the fourth quarter.

UP NEXT: For the Cavaliers, Tuesday @ Indiana, Wednesday vs. Milwaukee, Friday @ Orlando. For the Spurs, Monday vs. Orlando, Wednesday @ Minnesota, Friday vs. Dallas.
