Reeling Spurs stomp Suns to end 6-game slide

SAN ANTONIO (AP) The longest losing streak of Tim Duncan's career is over. The San Antonio Spurs coasted in a blowout and stayed atop the Western Conference.

Now they have to keep it up for five more games.

George Hill scored 29 points and the Spurs ended a six-game losing streak by beating up the Phoenix Suns 114-97 on Sunday. It was a cathartic rout after San Antonio went winless for nearly two weeks and squandered their once-comfortable position for the No. 1 seed in the West.

"Before the game, our three leaders spoke up and tried to say that everyone needs to hold themselves accountable," said Hill, referring to the championship core of Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. "It's not about one person on this team, it's about the whole team."

The win kept the Spurs at least 1 1/2 games ahead of the surging Los Angeles Lakers, who played later Sunday. Three of San Antonio's final five games are against teams out of the playoff race - including Phoenix again - but one of the other two is April 12 at the Lakers.

Thanks to San Antonio's untimely faltering, that game could decide who gets home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.

"Nobody will turn down momentum going into the playoffs," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.

Aaron Brooks and Channing Frye had 14 points apiece for the Suns. The loss guaranteed that Phoenix, which swept the Spurs out of the playoffs last year to reach the Western Conference finals, will miss the playoffs for the second time in three seasons.

Suns guard Steve Nash stayed in Phoenix because of the flu. Between the Suns missing their leading scorer and the Spurs desperate for a win, Phoenix coach Alvin Gentry had a bad feeling about this blowout even before it started.

"We knew they were going to have a reaction, obviously they lost six straight games," Gentry said. "They're fighting like crazy to stay ahead of the Lakers, and the Bulls. Obviously, it becomes really important to them, and they played that way."

Matt Bonner added 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs (58-19), who are the NBA's winningest team but they have lost an air of dominance during the longest slide of Duncan's 14-year career.

San Antonio led the Lakers by seven games following its previous win on March 21. What followed was Duncan missing four games with an ankle injury, the Spurs choking away games late and jeopardizing the top seed that had looked all but certain.

"We've got a lot of confidence, and hopefully we can finish in first place," Parker said.

The Suns trailed by as many as 31 points, and San Antonio's 70 first-half points were two shy of its most in a half this season. Hill scored 24, tying the most points in a half for a Spurs player all season.

Richard Jefferson added 12 points and was the only Spurs starter in double-figures.

Jared Dudley had 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Vince Carter also scored 12 for Phoenix.

Although the Suns were officially eliminated on Sunday, they essentially saw their postseason hopes vanish during a miserable March. Phoenix went 5-11 last month and has lost 10 of 14.

It's been a steep fall for the team that took the Lakers to six games last year in the West finals. But an overhauled roster never made a late, long winning surge as Suns teams had in previous years.

Suns center Marcin Gortat didn't want to talk about whether finding the motivation is getting harder.

"I don't want to answer that question, but I'll just tell you one thing, I'm embarrassed," Gortat said. "I'm glad in the second half we stepped up a little bit and didn't get blown out by 40 or 50, but it's embarrassing."

Notes: Gentry said Nash could play in Phoenix's next game at Chicago on Tuesday. ... The Spurs' previous longest skid in the Duncan era was four games. ... The Spurs will try to sweep the season series against the Suns on April 13 in the finale.

THE FACTS: George Hill came off the Spurs' bench to score 29 points on 10-of-16 shooting (4-of-7 from the 3-point line and 5-of-5 from the foul line) to help San Antonio snap a Tim Duncan-era worst six-game losing streak in a 114-97 victory over Phoenix that also eliminated the Suns from the playoffs on Sunday at AT&T Center. The Spurs' (58-19) only starter in double figures was Richard Jefferson with 12, but bench players Matt Bonner (16 points, 11 rebounds) and Gary Neal (15 points) stepped up. The Suns (37-39) have to win four of their remaining six games to avoid a losing record, but four of those games are on the road.

QUOTABLE: "We shot a lot better, and that makes things easier for sure. Hopefully we can do what we did tonight and make good shots great shots. George (Hill) had another one of those games where he's aggressive coming off the bench. It really helps our group."
-- Spurs coach Gregg Popovich

THE STAT: The Suns trailed by 15 points after the first quarter, but in the second quarter they shot almost 53 percent from the floor and sank all five foul shots -- yet trailed by 24 at halftime. San Antonio was 58 percent from the floor including 5-of-7 from the 3-point line in the second quarter.

TURNING POINT: Hill came off the bench for the first time 5:45 into the game when Phoenix led 14-13. The Spurs made seven of their next eights shots (Hill made five of them including a pair of 3-pointers), and when Hill sank three free throws after being fouled on a three-point shot by Zabian Dowdell with two seconds to go in the quarter, the Spurs led 35-20 after the end of one.

HOT: After being held to 11 points the last two games, Hill has found his touch again. Last week in starts against Memphis and Portland (both losses) Hill was 20-of-32 from the floor (just one made 3-pointer) for a combined 57 points in 70 minutes. He had zero turnovers and didn't have any today either. Combining those two games with the one today shows Hill shooting 62.5 percent from the floor.

NOT: While Hill and Neal came off the bench to form a backcourt that shot 16-of-25 from the floor (7-of-11 from the 3-point line), starters Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili went 5-of-19 for 13 points in a total of 52 minutes.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: If the Spurs can get some cushion over the Lakers for the No. 1 seed in the West, Hill could get some more playing time. In the past week he has matched a career high (30 points) in addition to the 29 today against Phoenix.

GOOD MOVE: At the expense of big-man minutes for DeJuan Blair, Tiago Splitter got 10 first-half minutes (Blair none) and scored three points and had three rebounds, though he was 1-of-4 from the free-throw line (55 percent for the season). Perhaps games like this will help Splitter get in the flow of the rotation by the time the playoffs arrive.

BAD MOVE: After Hill came in and scored two layups on his first two trips down the floor, the Suns played zone. Hill ended the opening quarter by knocking down a pair of threes and then made three free throws after being fouled on a 3-point attempt.

ROOKIE WATCH: With the flu bug keeping Steve Nash back in Phoenix for consecutive games, Dowdell now has played 45 ½ minutes in the past two games as backup to Aaron Brooks at point guard. Against the Spurs, Dowdell was 3-of-11 (six points) with three fouls and four turnovers.

NOTABLE: While the Spurs had one starter in double figures, all five of the Phoenix starters scored in double figures. San Antonio won the bench scoring 73-36.

UP NEXT: For the Suns, Tuesday @ Chicago, Wednesday @ Minnesota, Friday @ New Orleans. For the Spurs, Tuesday @ Atlanta, Wednesday vs. Sacramento, Saturday vs. Utah.
