Jazz-Spurs Preview

The San Antonio Spurs are looking for their best start to a season in five years, and now they may have Manu Ginobili back.

A matchup with the Utah Jazz could help them remain unbeaten.

With Ginobili possibly available, the Spurs attempt to continue their dominance of the Jazz on Saturday night after sweeping them out of the playoffs last season.

San Antonio (2-0) hasn't opened a season with three straight victories since 2007-08. The team got closer to matching that start Thursday, when Tony Parker hit a 21-footer at the buzzer to secure an 86-84 win over Oklahoma City in a rematch of last season's Western Conference finals, which the Spurs lost in six games.

Their strong start, which also includes a 99-95 victory at New Orleans on Wednesday, has come with Ginobili sidelined.

Coach Gregg Popovich has said the 35-year-old guard "is really close" to returning from back spasms, which forced him to miss half the preseason after various injuries limited him to 34 games last season.

Ginobili was used off the bench as the Spurs swept Utah (1-1) in the opening round of last season's postseason, holding the Jazz to 38.2 percent from the floor and 9 for 45 from beyond the arc.

Ginobili scored 17 points while hitting half of his six 3-point attempts in an 87-81 win in the series finale. He's averaging 19.8 points over his last five regular-season matchups.

San Antonio has won 10 of the last 11 meeting with the Jazz, averaging 103.1 points. The only defeat in that stretch came at Utah on April 9 with Tim Duncan out.

Duncan enters this meeting after scoring 20 points with eight rebounds and three blocks against the Thunder. He was even better a night earlier, making 10 of 15 shots to finish with 24 points, 11 boards and three assists while blocking three shots.

Parker, who scored 14 points Thursday, is averaging 21.9 over his last 16 overall games against Utah with San Antonio winning 13.

The Jazz are looking to bounce back from Friday's 88-86 loss at New Orleans, giving up the decisive layup with 1.3 seconds left. That came two days after coach Tyrone Corbin chastised his team at halftime before it went on to a 113-94 victory over Dallas.

"We learned a lesson," Corbin said. "We have to be more aggressive at the start of the game and play all 48 minutes. We didn't play our best basketball."

Utah likely needs increased production from Al Jefferson, who has made 9 of 24 shots to total 22 points with 22 rebounds over the last two games. He averaged 19.2 points and 9.6 boards last season, and combined for 47 and 21, respectively, in the last two games of the playoff series with the Spurs.

The Jazz began a stretch Friday with eight of 10 games on the road after going 11-22 away from home last season.

Including playoffs, they have lost 28 of 30 at San Antonio.

Parker lifts Spurs over Jazz 110-100

Posted Nov 04 2012 12:26AM

SAN ANTONIO (AP) Apparently the San Antonio Spurs are not comfortable unless they are under duress.

After needing last-second shots to win their first two games, the Spurs required another valiant effort from Tony Parker after squandering a 19-point lead against the Utah Jazz.

Parker had 24 points and 10 assists to help the Spurs fend off a late rally and beat the Jazz 110-100 on Saturday night.

Parker had six points and three assists in the final 5 minutes as San Antonio (3-0) continued its home dominance over Utah (1-2).

"It's tough when you're on the road against a team like that and come back, but we did," Jazz forward Paul Millsap said. "We put ourselves within reach to win the game, but their veterans came through."

Tim Duncan added 19 points and 11 rebounds, Danny Green had 21 points and Kawhi Leonard 13.

The Spurs seemed assured of matching their best start since the 2007-2008 season after a blazing start at home.

San Antonio shot 74 percent from the field in racing to a 62-44 lead at the half. They made 5 of 7 3-pointers in the first half and held the Jazz to 32 percent shooting.

The Spurs also had Manu Ginobili back in the lineup after he missed the team's first two games due to back spasms.

Everything was pointing to an easy victory before the Jazz took over after the half.

The Spurs squandered a 19-point lead in the third quarter when the Jazz went on a 24-5 run to tie the game.

Mo Williams hit a pair of free throws to cap the run and tie the game at 79 at the close of the third quarter. Williams had 11 of his game-high 29 points during the run.

"It just flowed that way," Williams said. "I hit a couple of shots and we got into some transition situations. I had it going a little bit. If it was me, if it was Al (Jefferson), if it was Paul (Millsap) - anyone of us want to ride the hot hand - and I just happen to be the point guard with the ball in my hand. I created some shots. I thought I did a good job to get my teammates more involved."

Millsap added 17 points, Jefferson 16 and Gordon Hayward 15.

The Spurs said they expected the Jazz to eventually cut into their lead, but the 7-minute outburst took even them by surprise.

"We expect teams to make runs," Duncan said. "We hope they don't make runs and get hot so they don't get back in the game (but they did). We didn't panic. I thought we did a great job of sticking with what we were doing, and focused ourselves on defense."

The Spurs then turned to their two stars in the fourth.

Duncan and Parker combined to score seven points in the final 4 minutes to preserve the victory.

San Antonio also forced six turnovers in the fourth quarter and held Utah to 11 field goal attempts after allowing the Jazz to make 12 of 24 shots in the third.

"Our guys were really embarrassed by that," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "Together playing good individual and team defense; holding them to 21 (points) was the key and they knew it."

It was the same defensive intensity San Antonio displayed in building the 19-point lead.

After Gordon Heyward made a 22-foot jumper on the team's first attempt, the Jazz missed their next nine shots as the Spurs raced to a 15-5 lead. Derrick Favors' dunk snapped Utah's dry spell with 5 minutes left in the first quarter.

"We were rolling," Green said. "We were playing well, and we were moving the ball and things were going well. They were playing pretty good defense, and that made us play better defense, which generated our offense and gave us a little boost and a little energy."

The Spurs had seven turnovers in the first quarter, but offset that by holding Utah to 32 percent shooting.

After having only one turnover in his first two games, Parker had three in the first quarter alone.

Ginobili made his season debut with 3:06 left in the first quarter, drawing thunderous applause from the sold out crowd. Ginobili scored his first points in typical style, driving from behind the three-point line for a scooping left-handed layup. His entry in the second half drew an equally loud response from the crowd.

NOTES: San Antonio holds a 63-20 record at home against the Jazz and lead the overall series 91-73. ... The Spurs eclipsed their previous high for points in the first half (43) set in their season opener against New Orleans. The Spurs' record for field goal percentage in a half is 84 percent, which they set in the first half against Cleveland on Dec. 11, 2004.

Notebook: Spurs 110, Jazz 100

THE FACTS: The Spurs built a 19-point first-half lead, but the Jazz came back to tie the game at 79 after three quarters. The Spurs held on for a 110-100 win thanks to big shots in the fourth quarter from a variety of players, including a 3-pointer from Kawhi Leonard with 1:12 left to push the Spurs' lead to 10.

Tony Parker led the Spurs with 24 points and 10 assists, while Danny Green scored 21 points on 8-for-9 shooting.

Mo Williams had a game-high 29 for the Jazz and Al Jefferson added 17 points and 10 rebounds.

QUOTABLE: "What was great about the fourth [quarter], I think [the Jazz] scored 35 in the third quarter and our guys were really embarrassed by that... Holding them to 21 was the key and [the Spurs] knew it."

-- Spurs coach Gregg Popovich

THE STAT: Utah turned the ball over six times in the fourth quarter while the Spurs didn't commit a single giveaway.

TURNING POINT: This game had all the makings of a blowout in the first half, when the Spurs went up by as much as 19 points. In the third quarter, though, Mo Williams went to work, scoring 15 points to bring Utah back and tie the game heading into the fourth.

QUOTABLE II: "We understand now that it's enough lessons learned. We've got to get it together and put it all together."

-- Mo Williams

HOT: Green had an efficient night, scoring 21 points on 8-for-9 from the floor and 3-for-3 from beyond the arc. Williams shot 9-for-13 en route to a game-high 29 points.

NOT: Non-starters shot 2-for-11 from 3-point range.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Williams scored 29 points on 9-for-13 shooting, and 9-for-9 from the free-throw line, with two made 3-pointers and nine assists. In addition to his 19 points, Tim Duncan had 11 rebounds and three blocked shots. Tony Parker had 10 assists to go along with his 24 points.

ROOKIE WATCH: Nando De Colo made his first regular-season appearance for the Spurs and didn't score, but had one assist in three minutes. Jazz rookie Kevin Murphy did not play.

NOTABLE: Stephen Jackson picked up a technical foul for the second game in a row while Williams was tagged with a Flagrant-1 foul for taking down Parker on a drive to the basket.

UP NEXT: For the Jazz, Monday @ Memphis, Wednesday vs. L.A. Lakers, Friday @ Denver. For the Spurs, Monday vs. Indiana, Wednesday @ L.A. Clippers, Friday @ Sacramento.
