SAN ANTONIO (Ticker) -- As the defending NBA champions, the SanAntonio Spurs are no stranger to taking an opponent's best shotand coming out unscathed.


Tony Parker scored a season-high 32 points and Tim Duncan added20 and 16 rebounds to power the Spurs to a 128-110 comeback victoryover the Orlando Magic.


Orlando, which entered the contest as the NBA's lone undefeatedteam on the road, seemed destined to give San Antonio, which isone of the league's five unbeaten home teams, all it couldhandle.


The Magic won their first seven games away from home by anaverage of 10.3 points.


They lived up to their reputation as road warriors after onehalf as Magic center Dwight Howard dominated on both ends with19 points and 12 boards to help Orlando take a 64-59 lead atintermission. Howard finished with 34 points on 14-of-19shooting from the field and 16 rebounds.


Orlando swingman Rashard Lewis hit a 3-pointer in the Magic'sfirst possession of the second half to take their biggest leadat 67-59, but the combination of Parker and Duncan scored thelast 13 over a nine-minute 25-14 stretch that put the Spurs inthe lead for good at 84-81.


San Antonio built on its 93-90 advantage after three quarters inpart by holding the high-scoring Magic scoreless over a 4:15stretch during the middle of the final quarter.


As a result, the Spurs turned a 99-95 advantage into a 12-pointbulge at 107-95, capped off by 3-pointers by Michael Finley andBrent Barry.


Duncan and Parker would account for 10 of the next 21 pointsthat increased the bulge to 128-105, capped off by the last ofBarry's five 3-pointers in the contest.


Manu Ginobili scored 27 points and Barry added a season-high 19for the Spurs, who shot 13-of-24 from the arc.


Hedo Turkoglu poured in a season-high 26 for the Magic, who lostdespite shooting 56 percent (42-for-75) from the field.

 

SAN ANTONIO (Ticker) -- As the defending NBA champions, the SanAntonio Spurs are no stranger to taking an opponent's best shotand coming out unscathed.


Tony Parker scored a season-high 32 points and Tim Duncan added20 and 16 rebounds to power the Spurs to a 128-110 comebackvictory over the Orlando Magic.


Orlando, which entered the contest as the NBA's lone undefeatedteam on the road, seemed destined to give San Antonio, which isone of the league's five unbeaten home teams, all it couldhandle.


"This was a fine, fine win against a really good team," Spurscoach Gregg Popovich said. "This was probably our best win ofthe year, without a doubt."


The Magic won their first seven games away from home by anaverage of 10.3 points.


They lived up to their reputation as road warriors after onehalf as Magic center Dwight Howard dominated on both ends with19 points and 12 boards to help Orlando take a 64-59 lead atintermission. Howard finished with 34 points on 14-of-19shooting from the field and 16 rebounds.


Orlando swingman Rashard Lewis hit a 3-pointer in the Magic'sfirst possession of the second half to take their biggest leadat 67-59, but the combination of Parker and Duncan scored thelast 13 over a nine-minute 25-14 stretch that put the Spurs inthe lead for good at 84-81.


"This is not the kind of game we want to be in," Duncan said."They shot a really high percentage the whole game. But I thinkin the second half, we finally got some stops and really got ona roll."


Howard didn't take any comfort knowing it took the defendingchamps to give them their first road loss.


"We want to win as many games as we can," Howard said. "Losingto a great team is still a loss."


San Antonio built on its 93-90 advantage after three quarters inpart by holding the high-scoring Magic scoreless over a 4:15stretch during the middle of the final quarter.


As a result, the Spurs turned a 99-95 advantage into a 12-pointbulge at 107-95, capped off by 3-pointers by Michael Finley andBrent Barry.


"Every time you make a mistake, they make you pay," Magic coachStan Van Gundy said. "All of the mistakes we made, theyconverted on. That's the difference right now between us andthem, they're a level above us. There's no question about that,and we've got a long, long way to go."


Van Gundy added that he thought his team played well enough tomake the game closer than it was.


"If we're going to shoot 56 percent and score 110 points, youshould be in the game at the end, not blown out," Van Gundysaid.


Duncan and Parker would account for 10 of the next 21 pointsthat increased the bulge to 128-105, capped off by the last ofBarry's five 3-pointers in the contest.


Manu Ginobili scored 27 points and Barry added a season-high 19for the Spurs, who shot 13-of-24 from the arc. The Spurs alsofinished with a franchise-low three turnovers, while Orlandocommitted 13.


Hedo Turkoglu poured in a season-high 26 for theMagic, who lost despite shooting 56 percent (42-for-75) from thefield.


"In the first half, they were on fire," Parker said. "Then, inthe second (half), we made two or three stops in a row, got somemomentum, got a little lead, and never really relinquished it."

"You can't win basketball games with just shooting percentages,"said Magic guard Jameer Nelson, who finished with 15 points andnine assists. "They capitalized on our mistakes on defense andthey turned it into points."
