SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 25 (UPI) -- Manu Ginobili led San Antonio with 26 points Friday and the Spurs broke open a close game in the third period to down New Jersey 106-96.
The Spurs won their 20th straight home game, having lost on their own court just twice all season. Their last home setback came Nov. 26 against Dallas.
George Hill added 19 points for San Antonio while Tim Duncan and DeJuan Blair both had 17.
New Jersey had a one-point lead at halftime before the Spurs outscored the Nets in the third period 35-18.
The Nets are one of several teams trying to settle in with a new roster following a hectic week leading up to the trade deadline.
Deron Williams, obtained in a high-profile deal with Utah, made his New Jersey debut and scored 14 points to go with 12 assists. The Nets, however, lost for the 16th time in their last 17 trips to San Antonio.
Anthony Morrow scored 25 points for New Jersey, which has lost seven out of nine.
