SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 16 (UPI) -- A 20-foot jumper by Manu Ginobili as the buzzer sounded Wednesday gave San Antonio a dramatic 92-90 victory over Milwaukee.
San Antonio had an 18-point lead late in the third period but Milwaukee came all the way back and tied it when Drew Gooden grabbed an offensive rebound and put in it with 49.7 seconds to play.
Ginobili then missed a shot, giving the Bucks a chance to take the lead. Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, however, also missed for Milwaukee and Tim Duncan seized the rebound for the Spurs.
That set up Ginobili for his fadeaway jumper that gave the Spurs their sixth straight win and improved the NBA's best record to 21-3. All six victories in San Antonio's current streak have come at home.
Ginobili made 9-of-13 shots from the field and scored 26 points. Tony Parker added 16 and Duncan 13.
Milwaukee, which had a three-game winning streak snapped, got 21 points from Chris Douglas-Roberts.
