Spurs-Cavaliers Preview

The San Antonio Spurs just keep winning, regardless of who's available.

Despite numerous key injuries, San Antonio has won 13 of 14 and will try for its sixth straight victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night as it continues its annual rodeo road trip.

Despite the absence of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker due to injuries and Stephen Jackson for "personal reasons," San Antonio rolled to a 103-89 victory over Chicago on Tuesday. The Spurs got a career-high 26 points from Kawhi Leonard while Danny Green had 18 and Gary Neal added 16.

The Spurs (41-12) were outrebounded 49-26, but compensated by scoring 29 points off 19 Chicago turnovers.

"One would hope that you could play with anybody in your system, but it was a tough challenge for them tonight," coach Gregg Popovich said. "And I couldn't be more proud of what they did."

San Antonio, 3-1 on its nine-game trip necessitated annually by the rodeo occupying the AT&T Center, has won six of seven away from home and has the league's best road record at 19-10.

Parker, who's averaged 30.3 points in his last three contests, sat out Monday with a swollen right knee to avoid playing back-to-back games. Duncan (knee) and Ginobili (hamstring) missed their fourth and fifth consecutive games, but all three are expected to play Wednesday.

Jackson is still out, and center Tiago Splitter could also find himself sidelined after an awkward fall in the first quarter Monday. He was icing his left ankle after the game.

"It's painful right now, but we'll see tomorrow how it feels," said Splitter, who had 16 points in 33 minutes.

The Spurs will try to piece it together again Wednesday against a Cavaliers team that's dropped two straight since a three-game winning streak. Cleveland (16-36) didn't fare well against another injury-hit club Monday, falling 100-92 to Minnesota.

The Cavs had their own injury scare when star guard Kyrie Irving rolled his ankle in the first half after landing on an opponent's foot. Irving hopped around painfully but played 36 minutes and scored 20 points. He wasn't available for interviews afterward as he spent time in the trainer's room.

Irving went 1 for 5 in the fourth quarter when the Timberwolves shot 75.0 percent and got 12 points from Luke Ridnour.

Wayne Ellington's 3-pointer cut the lead to 82-81 with 7:20 left, but Minnesota responded with a 10-2 run.

"We basically did it to ourselves," swingman C.J. Miles said. "They made some tough shots - don't take anything away from them - but for the most part, we gave the game to them.

"We just don't get it. It was just a poor effort from the start. It just didn't look like we were interested."

The Spurs won both meetings last season by a combined 51 points, shooting 57.0 percent from the field. Green averaged 16.5 points and hit seven of 11 3-pointers in the two games.

Irving averaged 16.0 points but shot 39.4 percent and had seven turnovers and eight assists.

Leonard's 3-pointer gives Spurs 96-95 win

Posted Feb 13 2013 11:57PM

CLEVELAND (AP) The San Antonio Spurs had all of their stars together for the first time in a month - and the game-winning shot still came from a role player.

Kawhi Leonard made a 3-pointer with 2.9 seconds remaining to give San Antonio a 96-95 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.

The Spurs, who have won 14 of 15, had Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili on the floor together for the first time since Jan. 13, but it was Leonard who saved the day.

"It was tough situation and we won it," Ginobili said.

Leonard's clutch basket from the right corner off Parker's assist came after Dion Waiters' jump shot with 9.5 seconds remaining put Cleveland ahead 95-93.

San Antonio called timeout after Waiters' shot. The Cavaliers had a foul to give and grabbed Duncan with 8.8 seconds remaining. The ensuing inbounds pass went to Parker, who drove into the lane and found a wide-open Leonard in the right corner. Leonard drilled the shot, giving the Spurs a two-point lead.

"We practiced that 1,000 times so I knew we'd be able to execute it," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "If Tony had the open layup, he would've have gotten the layup. That was his alternative."

"I thought I had the layup, but I saw Kawhi open," said Parker, who led the Spurs with 24 points. "I wasn't only playing for the win, but I'd been setting up my teammates all night."

"One thing we didn't want to give up at the end of the game was a 3," Cleveland coach Byron Scott said. "That's the one thing we talked about in the huddle. Don't give up a three, and we gave up a three."

Kyrie Irving, who was held to a season-low six points, missed a desperation runner from the top of the key as time expired. Cleveland called timeout and inbounded the ball to Irving, who drove inside the 3-point line. Parker's tight defense forced the Cavaliers' All-Star guard to put up a tough shot, which hit the off the rim and fell off.

"(Parker) cut me off with my left hand, I tried to spin, my body never I lost my balance," said Irving, who has hit game-winning shots against Charlotte and Toronto this season.

Irving, who rolled his left ankle Monday against Minnesota, was 2 of 15 from the field with seven assists.

"This was probably one of the worst shooting nights I've ever had," Irving said. "I was trying to get myself going and I just couldn't. But that's no excuse. I was trying to get everybody else involved, trying to push the pace. I just didn't have anything."

Gary Neal scored 15 points while Leonard, who left the locker room without speaking to reporters, scored 13 points with 10 rebounds. Leonard sustained a cut above his right eye in the third quarter and left briefly. He returned wearing a bandage above the eye.

Duncan, who had missed eight of the last nine games with a sore left knee, scored 13 points in 25 minutes.

"My rhythm wasn't there, but just to be running up and down the court instead of wearing a suit was awesome," he said.

Parker, who didn't play Monday because of swelling in his right knee, was 8 of 14 from the field, and had seven assists in 34 minutes. Ginobili, who had missed nine of the last 13 games with a tight left hamstring, had five points in nine minutes off the bench. He didn't play in the second half because of precautionary reasons.

Waiters scored 20 points to lead Cleveland, which has dropped three straight after winning a season-high three in a row. Tyler Zeller, who was scoreless in 25 minutes Monday, had 16 points, including 12 in the first half.

Cleveland, playing its sixth straight home game, was coming off its worst loss of the season Monday to Minnesota, a 100-92 loss.

Cleveland looked like a different team against the club with the best record in the NBA in the final game before the All-Star break for both games. The Cavaliers built a 10-point lead in the second quarter and were ahead 54-46 at halftime.

Spurs swingman Stephen Jackson missed his second straight game because of personal reasons.

The Spurs are 4-1 on their annual nine-game, 19-day rodeo road trip. ... San Antonio visits Sacramento on Tuesday. ... The Cavaliers are 3-3 on their seven-game homestand. ...

Notebook: Spurs 96, Cavaliers 95

Brian Dulik, for NBA.com
Posted Wed Feb 13, 2013 11:42 PM - Updated Wed Feb 13, 2013 11:42 PM

THE FACTS: Small forward Kawhi Leonard nailed a 3-pointer from the right corner with 2.9 seconds left, giving the San Antonio Spurs a 96-95 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Point guard Tony Parker collected a game-high 24 points and seven assists for San Antonio, while Leonard and power forward Tim Duncan each scored 13 points. Shooting guard Manu Ginobili added five points and six assists for the Spurs, who own the best record in the NBA at 42-12. Rookie shooting guard Dion Waiters led Cleveland with 20 points, while rookie center Tyler Zeller had 16 points and a team-high nine rebounds.

QUOTABLE: "The one thing we didn't want to give up at the end of the game was a 3-pointer. That's the one thing we talked about in the huddle. It was just a loss of focus at that time of the game, which is unfortunate."
-- Cavaliers coach Byron Scott

THE STAT: San Antonio's "Big Three" played in the same game for the first time since Jan. 13. The Spurs went 12-1 without Duncan (left knee), Parker (right knee), and Ginobili (left hamstring) in the lineup together. They combined for 42 points, 13 rebounds and 16 assists against the Cavaliers. "My rhythm wasn't there tonight, but just to be running up and down the court -- instead of wearing a suit on the bench -- was awesome," said Duncan, who also grabbed six boards and blocked five shots. "And, obviously, it's always great to be out there with Tony and Manu."

TURNING POINT: After the Cavaliers took a 93-90 lead on two free throws by point guard Kyrie Irving with 1:48 left, Spurs shooting guard Gary Neal answered with a 3-pointer. Waiters put Cleveland back in front 95-93 by sinking a step-back jumper with 9.9 ticks remaining, but that left too much time for Parker to work his magic. The French floor general drove down the lane, then passed to a wide open Leonard, who made the game-winning 3-pointer. "We practiced that play 1,000 times, so I knew we'd be able to execute it," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said.

QUOTABLE II: "I thought I could have made the layup, but I saw Kawhi open. I wasn't only playing for the win, but I'd been setting up my teammates all night, so I wanted to make the right play at the end."
-- Tony Parker

HOT: San Antonio holds a two-game lead over Oklahoma City in the race for the best record in the NBA. The Spurs also lead Memphis by 7 1/2 games in the Southwest Division standings. ... Parker was a perfect 8-for-8 from the foul line, all coming in the third quarter. ... Leonard had a game-high 10 rebounds and four blocks. ... San Antonio center DeJuan Blair shot 6-for-7 from the field, scored 12 points, and grabbed five rebounds in 18 minutes off the bench. ... Cavaliers shooting guard C.J. Miles scored a team-high seven points in the final period. ... Zeller made seven field goals, which was six more than he had in his previous three games combined.

NOT: The Cavaliers are 16-37, giving them two fewer wins than they had all of last season. ... Irving scored a season-low six points on 2-for-15 shooting. The first-time NBA All-Star, who twisted his left ankle Monday against Minnesota, also slipped on Cleveland's final possession -- prompting him to fling a wild 20-footer at the buzzer. ... The 7-foot Zeller lost a jump ball to Spurs point guard Nando DeColo, who stands 6-foot-5. ... San Antonio didn't make a free throw in the first 23:58. ... Spurs shooting guard Danny Green missed all five of his 3-pointers and was 1-for-8 from the floor. ... San Antonio center Tiago Splitter was outscored 16-6 by Zeller.

QUOTABLE III: "Everybody did their job tonight and we competed for the whole 48 minutes. We just had a defensive letdown and that led to Kawhi Leonard's 3-pointer, but that's what happens in this game."
-- Kyrie Irving

GOOD MOVE: Popovich allowed Ginobili to play 10 minutes in the first half, but left him on the bench for the remainder of the game for precautionary reasons. The flashy Argentine was not happy about his limited court time, but admitted his coach made the right long-term decision for the Spurs. "In Pop's head, he thought I came back too early the last time I hurt my hamstring," Ginobili said. "I feel good, and I tried to convince him to put me back in, but it is what it is."

BAD MOVE: Waiters got lost defensively on San Antonio's final possession, leaving Leonard alone in the corner for his game-winning basket. To his credit, the fourth overall pick in the NBA Draft accepted responsibility for the loss and politely answered questions from reporters for several minutes. "I blame myself because I helped too far [on Parker] when I came over," Waiters said. "It's terrible. We played so hard tonight. We just came up short and it really hurts."

NOTABLE: The Spurs are 4-1 on their annual nine-game, 19-day Rodeo Road Trip. They do not return home to AT&T Center until Feb. 27 against Phoenix ... San Antonio small forward Stephen Jackson missed his second straight game for personal reasons. ... The Cavaliers are 3-3 on their seven-game homestand, which concludes on Feb. 20. ... Cleveland made its only appearance in the NBA Finals in 2007, when it was swept in four games by the Spurs. ... The Cavaliers are 56-145 since superstar LeBron James departed the franchise in July 2010.

UP NEXT: For the Spurs, Tuesday @ Sacramento, Feb. 21 @ L.A. Clippers, Feb. 22 @ Golden State. For the Cavaliers, Feb. 20 vs. New Orleans, Feb. 23 @ Orlando, Feb. 24 @ Miami.
