SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Tim Duncan delivered 23 points Thursday in sending the San Antonio Spurs cruising past Miami 108-78.

The Spurs moved within two games of Dallas at the top of the Southwest Division.

Duncan made 10-of-13 shots from the field and Manu Ginobili added 18 points. It was San Antonio's fourth straight win.

The previous Miami low point total was 80, coming in a 10-point win Dec. 23 over Utah.
