Spurs Ride Parker, Ginobili Past Magic

Posted Nov 22, 07 6:11 AM CST in Sports 

(Newser) – Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said of his team's 128-110 defeat of the Orlando Magic that "to win the game we were going to have to score." And scoring is what he got: 32 points from Tony Parker, 27 from Manu Ginobili, and 20 from Tim Duncan, reports the San Antonio Express-News. Elsewhere in the paint:

  • Despite allowing 19 turnovers, Boston pulled out a 105-82 rout of Golden State.
  • LeBron James was in high gear in Cleveland's 97-86 defeat of Minnesota, scoring 17 points in the fourth quarter and 45 total.
  • Chauncey Billups netted 25 points and 15 assists to bring Detroit to a 98-86 victory over New York.
