CLEVELAND – George Hill tied a season high with 22 points, and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 109-99 on Wednesday night to become the first NBA team to reach 50 wins.

Tim Duncan scored 16 points and DeJuan Blair had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs, who bounced back from a 109-93 loss to Memphis on Tuesday. San Antonio, playing its second game since point guard Tony Parker with a calf injury, also got 14 points from Gary Neal and 13 each from all-star Manu Ginobili and Matt Bonner.

Rookie forward Samardo Samuels, making his first NBA start, had a career-high 23 points for Cleveland.
