SAN ANTONIO — Tony Parker scored the last of his 20 points on a 16-footer with 26.1 seconds left to help the San Antonio Spurs hold off the Oklahoma City Thunder, 109-105 on Wednesday night.
Gary Neal scored nine of his 19 points after needing five stitches above his right cheek, as the NBA-best Spurs (47-10) moved within three wins of matching their total from last season.
Kevin Durant led the Thunder with 30 points, and Russell Westbrook had 25 for Oklahoma City.
Jeff Green airballed a three-pointer with 5.4 seconds remaining that would’ve tied the game.
Parker’s final jumper was the only second-chance points in the entire game for the Spurs.
