Warriors-Spurs Preview

With sizable leads in the Southwest Division and the Western Conference, the San Antonio Spurs have started looking ahead to the postseason by giving their top players some rest.

Given their 25-game home winning streak against the Golden State Warriors heading into Monday night's game between the teams, it may not matter who Spurs coach Gregg Popovich decides to rest.

With a 7 1/2-game advantage over Dallas, San Antonio (56-13) is closing in on its eighth division title in 11 seasons. The NBA's best team also has a 6 1/2-game lead over the Los Angeles Lakers for the West's No. 1 seed.

That helped make it easy for Popovich to give star forward Tim Duncan his first night off this season Saturday as the Spurs defeated visiting Charlotte 109-98. Starting guard Manu Ginobili also played just 19 minutes - far below his season average of nearly 31.

Rookie Tiago Splitter got his first NBA start in place of Duncan, but it was reserve forward Steve Novak who proved more pivotal with a season-high 19 points. Fellow bench players Gary Neal added 15 points and George Hill had 12.

"It was great to have the bench come in, so Manu (Ginobili) wouldn't have to play too many minutes," Popovich said. "I wanted to play Tony (Parker) even less, but he's the youngster of the group. Everyone off the bench came in and did a great job."

Even with his team's large leads in the division and conference, Ginobili said the Spurs starters might get only get one or two nights off over the final 3 1/2 weeks of the regular season.

"We got to keep in shape and keep playing. Because when you realize the playoffs are here you don't want to lose your conditioning," Ginobili said.

The Spurs' conditioning has rarely been an issue of late against the fast-paced Warriors (30-40). The 25-game run at home is the NBA's longest active streak against one opponent, and San Antonio has won 11 in a row in the series.

Duncan played just 18 minutes in a 111-94 win over Golden State at the AT&T Center on Dec. 8, finishing with eight points and five rebounds. Parker, meanwhile, had 19 points to lead six players in double figures. DeJuan Blair was one of those with 15 points and 13 rebounds.

Golden State got a career-high eight 3-pointers and 31 points from Reggie Williams in that game, but Stephen Curry sprained his right ankle in the second quarter. Curry was held to 11 points on 4-of-12 shooting Sunday when the Warriors suffered their fourth consecutive defeat and fourth in a row on the road, 101-73 at Dallas.

Golden State, averaging 103.1 points, had just 10 in the fourth quarter against the Mavericks and missed 24 of 33 shots in the second half. The 73 points were the team's second lowest-scoring total this season.

"It was just an off night for guys. Guys couldn't find their shot," forward Dorell Wright said. "I feel like shots that we usually make were going in and out, and we were just missing it. It's like that at some times. So, we've just got to let this one go and get ready for tomorrow."

Ginobili has averaged 20.5 points on 54.0 percent shooting in his last four games against Golden State. San Antonio has also limited the Warriors' Monta Ellis to 18.7 points - 5.7 below his team-leading average - on 34.8 percent shooting.

Spurs lose Duncan indefinitely in beating Warriors

By PAUL J. WEBER

SAN ANTONIO (AP) Tim Duncan missed his first game last weekend because the San Antonio Spurs didn't want to risk him getting hurt.

Their worst fear happened two days later instead.

Duncan is out indefinitely after spraining his left ankle in a 111-96 win over the Golden State Warriors on Monday night, dealing the NBA's winningest team its first significant injury all season and at nearly the worst possible time.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said Duncan would be out "a while" but had no timetable. Spurs forward Antonio McDyess said he spoke with Duncan after the game and thinks the 34-year-old All-Star will miss at least a couple of weeks.

"I thought he had done real damage, like broken or fractured," McDyess said. "I was just happy to see it was just a severe sprain. I actually thought it was worse."

Manu Ginobili scored 28 points, and Tony Parker had 17 points and 15 assists. Parker was among the first to rush over to Duncan after he crashed to the court barely four minutes into the game. Parker then turned and winced toward Popovich, who stood with his hands in his pockets, watching his two-time MVP lay on his side and clutch his left foot with both hands.

"It's not flowers and lollipops," Popovich said about what he was thinking at the time.

Ekpe Udoh led Golden State with 15 points. It was Udoh's foot that Duncan appeared to be trying to avoid while landing awkwardly after hitting a short jumper in the first quarter.

X-rays on Duncan's foot were negative.

Troubled by aches and injuries the previous two seasons, Duncan's surprising durability until now has been a big reason why the Spurs (57-13) have led the NBA all season and are on pace to surpass their franchise record of 63 wins set in 2005-06.

The Spurs have a seven-game lead over the Los Angeles Lakers in the West with 12 games left. That breathing room afforded Popovich the luxury Saturday of giving Duncan his first game off all season, after Duncan had been the only Spurs player to start the first 68 games.

Duncan had played 32 minutes the night before in Dallas. Popovich said he didn't want to risk an injury.

He's got a big one now.

"I saw him in pain. He's not one of those guys that's going to pretend or do that if he is not hurting," Ginobili said. "It's bad, but hopefully it's just a couple of games and he'll be back soon."

Acie Law and Dorell Wright scored 14 apiece as the Warriors dropped their fifth straight. Golden State played a night after getting pummeled at Dallas by 28 points, and have one stop left in Houston on Wednesday before returning home Friday to host Toronto.

"You don't want to see a good guy like that getting hurt," Golden State coach Keith Smart said of Duncan.

Rookie Tiago Splitter, the 7-footer who got his first NBA start in place of Duncan on Saturday, filled in again for his idol and finished with 10 points and 14 rebounds.

Steve Novak scored 13 points, and Jefferson had 12 for the Spurs.

The loss assured Golden State a 14th straight season without a win in San Antonio. Put another way, the Warriors have never won in San Antonio since Duncan was drafted in 1997.

But Golden State has given the Spurs two Duncan scares this season.

In January, Duncan fell to the floor and cringed for about a minute during a 113-102 win at Golden State. He was diagnosed with a hyperextended left knee and returned to the game.

That wasn't the case this time. He limped off the court with the help of trainers and did not return. McDyess said Duncan was icing the ankle at halftime and described the injury to him as painful.

Earlier this month, the Spurs announced that Parker would likely miss two to four weeks with a sprained calf muscle. He wound up missing just one game.

Notes: Parker tied a season high in assists. ... Spurs F DeJuan Blair didn't play after spraining his left wrist in Saturday's win over the Bobcats. Blair is expected to return Wednesday.

Warriors-Spurs notebook

THE FACTS: Tim Duncan went down with a left ankle sprain less than five minutes into the game on Monday, but Manu Ginobili scored 28 points and emerging bench player Steve Novak added 13 points to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 111-06 victory over Golden State at AT&T Center. Duncan could miss two weeks for the Spurs (57-13). The Warriors (30-41) could not get on track because guards Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry combined to go 7-of-21 from the floor for 18 points.

QUOTABLE: "Hopefully, (Duncan's) injury is not too bad. But I saw him in pain, and he's not one of those guys who's going to pretend or do that if he's not hurting. Hopefully, it's just a couple of games and he'll be back soon."
-- Ginobili

THE STAT: The Spurs shot better than 50 percent most of the night (they ended up 42-of-85), so their depleted inside game with the injuries to Duncan and DeJuan Blair (sprained left wrist) did not derail them. San Antonio had four second-chance points for the game and only one offensive rebound in the first half.

TURNING POINT: The Spurs led by 20 early in the fourth quarter, but the Warriors cut it to seven with 5:41 to go. But after Ginobili hit a 3-pointer, Matt Bonner's help defense on Ellis forced him to pass back out to Dorell Wright, who missed a contested 3-pointer over Ginobili. Antonio McDyess scored on a pass inside from Tony Parker. Ellis' bad pass was stolen by Ginobili, who took it the rest of the way for a slam dunk and a 100-86 lead with 4:15 left.

QUOTABLE II: "Well, (the Spurs) did make a lot of 3-pointers, so their game was pretty much out on the perimeter. We were doing all we could tonight."
-- Warriors coach Keith Smart

HOT: Novak has provided instant offense the past two games. In his 15 games since signing his first of two 10-day contracts (the Spurs now have him under contract for the remainder of the season), he's shooting 58 percent from the 3-point line. That includes 8-of-12 the past two games and 32 points in 36 minutes.

NOT: Bonner dropped below 50 percent for the season on his league-leading 3-point shooting when he made just 2-of-7 threes on Saturday against Charlotte (he had failed to hit a three in the four games previous to that). And tonight against Golden State he was 2-of-9. He's shooting 22 percent from 3-point land in the past eight games.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Ginobili scored 28, but Parker added 15 assists (matches a season high) along with 17 points.

GOOD MOVE: Keeping Blair out as a precaution because of the wrist injury. But, with Duncan now out and three road games looming (Denver, Portland and Memphis), it can be expected Blair won't sit long. Tonight, even though the Warriors are the worst in the league in opponents' offensive rebounding, the Spurs had five fewer offensive rebounds than Golden State.

BAD MOVE: The Warriors were unable to lock down on San Antonio's outside game. The Spurs were plus-15 from the 3-point line because the Warriors defenders were consistently allowing Spurs outside shooters plenty of room past the 3-point line.

ROOKIE WATCH: Tiago Splitter had a career-high 14 rebounds for San Antonio. In the four minutes following Duncan's injury, Splitter came in and scored eight of the next 13 points, helping the Spurs to an 18-point lead before the end of the first quarter. He scored two points after that.

NOTABLE: The Spurs have won 26 straight games at home over Golden State. The last time the Warriors won in San Antonio was in February 1997.

UP NEXT: For the Warriors, Wednesday @ Houston, Friday vs. Toronto, Sunday vs. Washington. For the Spurs, Wednesday @ Denver, Friday @ Portland, Sunday @ Memphis.
