MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) - Manu Ginobili and the San Antonio Spurscontinued their winning ways, rallying to defeat the MinnesotaTimberwolves, 106-91, on Friday night.


Ginobili scored a season-high 31 points as San Antonio erased a14-point third-quarter deficit by closing the game on a 40-11run. Tim Duncan added 20 points and 14 rebounds for the Spurs.

Despite the fact that Minnesota has fewer victories (2-12) thanSan Antonio has losses (14-3), the Timberwolves made this agame, leading until the 9:05 mark in the fourth quarter, when afree throw by Tim Duncan gave the Spurs an 83-82 lead.

In a game marked by physical play and three technical fouls, SanAntonio's experience and Ginobili were the difference.

"Ginobili is an amazing competitor," Spurs coach Gregg Popovichsaid. "One of the most unbelievable competitors I've even beenaround."


The Timberwolves came out of halftime and went on a 21-10 run togo ahead, 80-66, with under two minutes to play in the thirdquarter.


"We let Minnesota get too confident," Ginobili said. "They weremaking really tough shots. We should have done much better,especially in the first three quarters."


The Spurs stormed back with a 14-0 run - capped by 3-pointersfrom Bruce Bowen and Brent Barry - bridging the third and fourthquarters to tie the game at 80-80 with 10:45 to play in thegame.


"We did turn it on tonight," Ginobili said. "It's usually notthat easy to do. But we really improved our defense, made themmake some mistakes, and offensively, we just started making tonsof shots."


Antoine Walker gave the Timberwolves their last lead at 86-85,but Bowen and Barry hit 3-pointers in a 12-1 run to put theSpurs in command, 97-87, with 4:20 left to play.


Ginobili provided the final daggers with two more shots from theare in the final 3:05.


"They shot the lights out," Minnesota coach Randy Wittman said."They make you pay when you make a decision to take the ball outof Duncan's hands."


The finish was typical for Minnesota, which has relinquishedfour late second-half leads. While the Timberwolves areshooting 50 percent in the first quarter, they make less than 36percent of their shots in the fourth quarter.


"Once we got the game tied, we knew we were going to be OK,"Ginobili said. "But when we were down 14, I really didn't thinkwe were going to win, because it's not that easy to turn iton."


Al Jefferson helped Minnesota get off to a strong start in thefirst quarter, scoring 10 of his team-high 23 points andgrabbing five of his 11 rebounds to spark the Timberwolves to anearly 16-8 lead.


Ginobili responded with 15 first-half points to pull the Spursinto a 48-48 tie at the break.


"When you're a young team, it takes a while to build up yourconfidence," Popovich said. "To learn how to work together.That takes time. We're older than dirt, so that's not a problemthat we have. We need a fountain of youth or something."
