NBA: San Antonio 109, Utah 105

SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- Tony Parker and Marco Belinelli scored the last nine San Antonio points to hold off a Utah charge Wednesday and bring the Spurs a 109-105 victory.

San Antonio held a 16-point lead with five minutes to play and still had to sweat out the win. Utah closed within 107-105 on a 3-pointer by Trey Burke with four seconds to go, but Belinelli then made two free throws to clinch the victory.
