SAN ANTONIO, March 8 (UPI) -- Tony Parker keyed a run late in the second quarter Wednesday that sent San Antonio rolling to a 118-105 victory over New York.
Parker scored 32 points and was one of seven San Antonio players in double figures. The Spurs closed the second quarter on a 22-6 run that gave them a 58-41 cushion at the break and they were not threatened over the final two periods.
Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili both had 17 points for the Spurs, who are 2-2 on a seven-game homestand.
After reaching the breakeven mark, the Knicks have lost three in a row -- all on the road. Carmelo Anthony scored 27 points and Jeremy Lin had 20.
San Antonio took advantage of the absence of New York center Tyson Chandler to outscore the Knicks in the paint 60-38. Chandler missed the game with a hamstring strain.
