(Newser) – Tim Duncan had the big numbers, but Manu Ginobili hit the key shots as the San Antonio Spurs held on to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 97-88 last night, reports the Associated Press. Duncan had 28 points and 12 rebounds, but when the Clippers took a late lead, Ginobili's 3-pointer sparked a 10-0 clinching run. In other NBA action:

  • The Sacramento Kings won their 19th straight home game against the Memphis Grizzlies with a 107-106 overtime win. Kevin Martin hit two free throws in the closing seconds for the win and two of his 36 points.
