NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 23 (UPI) -- Tim Duncan hit a go-ahead basket in the closing seconds Monday, boosting the San Antonio Spurs to a 104-102 win over New Orleans.

The Spurs responded after Carl Landry's tip-in with 5.2 seconds left had pulled the Hornets into a 102-102 tie.
Landry missed a chance to win it with a 3-pointer at the buzzer and New Orleans suffered its eighth straight loss.
Duncan amassed 28 points and seven rebounds while Tony Parker handed out a career-high 17 assists to go with 20 points for San Antonio.
The Hornets were led by 26 points from Jarret Jack.
Landry and Trevor Ariza each contributed 18 for New Orleans.
