Short-handed Spurs outlast Warriors

Tiago Splitter tipped in a rebound with 2.1 seconds left, lifting the short-handed Spurs to a 104-102 victory against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night.

San Antonio (21-5) rested Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker sat out for the second successive game with a bruised right shin. None of it mattered.

The Spurs used big nights from Marco Belinelli, Kawhi Leonard and Patty Mills to hand the Warriors (14-13) another devastating defeat in a rematch of last season's Western Conference semifinals.
