Parker and Spurs knock off Denver

Basketball Betting Lines

02/21/2007 - San Antonio, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tony Parker led a balanced San Antonio attack with 17 points, as the Spurs routed the Denver Nuggets, 95-80, for their third straight win.

Manu Ginobili added 14 points and Tim Duncan scored 12 for San Antonio, which overcame a horrendous 14-of-27 effort from the charity stripe. Bruce Bowen, Francisco Elson and Michael Finley all had nine points in a game that turned into a blowout in the third quarter, when the Spurs outscored the Nuggets, 30-10.

Carmelo Anthony had 15 points and Nene scored 13 for the Nuggets, but Allen Iverson had only nine on 3-of-11 shooting in his return to the lineup. Iverson, who had missed eight of the previous nine games with a sprained right ankle, shot 3-of-11 from the field.

Denver, which ended 31-of-73 (42.5%) from the field, has lost nine of its last 13 games.

Already ahead by 11 at the half, the Spurs widened their margin considerably by benefiting from poor shooting from the Nuggets. Duncan converted an alley- oop off a pass from Bowen with 4:59 remaining in the quarter for a 66-45 advantage.

Duncan later jammed off an assist from Ginobili, and Ginobili's free throw moved the score to 70-45.

Jacque Vaughn's jumper from the right corner at the end of the third had the Spurs to a 79-48 rout and the home team cruised in the final 12 minutes.

The game actually started well for Denver, which bolted to a 13-4 lead after an Iverson jumper. However, the Spurs rallied, taking an 18-17 edge and were in front, 25-21, going into the second.

A pair of Parker baskets capped six straight points by the Spurs for a 39-28 margin, and it was 49-38 at the half.
