SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 25 (UPI) -- Tony Parker fired in 37 points and carded 12 assists Tuesday, steering the San Antonio Spurs to a 93-76 victory over the Dallas Mavericks.

Michael Finley, Matt Bonner and Kurt Thomas also were in double figures for the Spurs, who won their third straight despite being without Tim Duncan for the first time this season. Duncan has a sore right knee.

Josh Howard led Dallas with 19 points. Jose Barea, Dirk Nowitzki and James Singleton also scored in double figures but Jason Kidd had just two points and Dallas shot just 34.2 percent from the field.

San Antonio grabbed a 28-15 lead by the end of the first period and Dallas never seriously challenged the rest of the way.
