Manu Ginobili scored 13 points, including a pair of 3-pointers in a 13-4 run that sent San Antonio into the half with a 56-48 lead. The Lakers cut a 12-point deficit in half in the third before the Spurs extended it to 78-68 entering the fourth.

With San Antonio ahead by 10, Duncan hit back-to-back baskets before Matt Bonner drilled a 3-pointer to cap a 7-0 spurt and make it 91-74 with 6:09 left. The Lakers used an 8-0 spurt to get the deficit to single digits but seven straight points from Parker pushed the lead to 16 with 1:14 to go.
