MILWAUKEE, Dec. 27 (UPI) -- San Antonio shot 59.7 percent from the field Saturday en route to a 112-97 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

Tim Duncan led the way with 26 points and Tony Parker added 16 plus eight assists.

"A good shooting night, obviously, and we need that," Duncan said. "I thought we moved the ball real well and gave guys an opportunity to make shots."

The Bucks, who lost for the fifth time in their last six games, got 23 points from Hakim Warrick and 15 from Jodie Meeks.

Milwaukee challenged the Spurs' comfortable lead early in the second quarter; but a 12-0 San Antonio run expanded the margin to 45-26 with 4 minutes left in the half.

The Bucks got closer in the third quarter when Ersan Ilyasova hit a 3-pointer and Brandon Jennings sank a free throw to make it 58-47. San Antonio pulled away from there and led 89-64 at the end of the third quarter.
