SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 4 (UPI) -- Bruce Bowen made three free throws in the final 10 seconds Friday to wrap up the San Antonio Spurs' 97-93 victory over New York.
Bowen led a balanced scoring effort with 15 points and both Michael Finley and Matt Bonner had 14. Tim Duncan contributed 12 for the Spurs, who defeated the Knicks for the fifth straight time.
New York got 25 from Eddy Curry and 24 from Jamal Crawford, but lost its sixth in a row.
Nate Robinson hit a jumper with 50 seconds left to get the Knicks within 94-93, and New York got the ball back with a chance to take the lead. But Jamal Crawford turned the ball over, Bowen grabbed it and was fouled.
Bowen made two free throws with 10 seconds to go and after another empty New York possession, he made one out of two with just two-tenths of a seconds remaining.
