San Antonio went on a decisive 8-0 run after Bosh’s layup cut the lead to five with 3:11 remaining in the game.

Duncan made two free throws, Parker sank a long jumper and Manu Ginobili added two layups to give the Spurs a 101-88 lead with 1:13 left.

The Spurs played the first of back-to-back games after flying from San Antonio on Saturday. The Spurs play in New York on Monday night.
