SAN ANTONIO, Texas, (Reuters) – Tony Parker scored 20 points and made 14 assists to help the San Antonio Spurs rebound from their worst loss of the season with a 94-80 victory over the Washington Wizards yesterday.
Manu Ginobili added a team-high 21 for the Spurs who were beaten 123-101 by the Orlando Magic on Thursday, a defeat that had snapped San Antonio’s 10-game winning streak.
The Spurs knocked down 10 three-pointers and held a 16-point lead on the Wizards after three quarters to improve their NBA-best record to 26-4.
Rashard Lewis led the Wizards with 21 points and 12 rebounds in just his second game with the team after being acquired from the Orlando Magic last week.
Washington (7-21) were without Andray Blatche and JaVale McGee. Local media reported they had been suspended for one game after getting involved in a nightclub altercation on Friday.
