Tony Parker scored 22 points, Manu Ginobili added 17, and the duo made the key plays in the final minutes to power the San Antonio Spurs to a 95-88 victory over the New York Knicks on Sunday night.

Tim Duncan finished with 13 points while being outplayed by David Lee, but Parker and Ginobili combined for all of San Antonio's points after the game was tied at 84 with under 3 1/2 minutes remaining. The Spurs won for the eighth time in 10 games following a three-game skid earlier this month.

Lee matched a season high with 28 points on 11-of-13 shooting and grabbed 10 rebounds, but the Knicks finished 3-2 on their five-game homestand after losing the last two. Danilo Gallinari and Al Harrington each scored 19.

The Knicks held an opponent under 100 points for the 10th straight time, the first time they've done that since a 19-game stretch from Feb. 18-March 26, 2001. But they wasted that effort with another poor night from the perimeter, going 2 for 16 from 3-point range.

Expected to be one of the league's top teams after a busy offseason, the Spurs instead started slowly, with coach Gregg Popovich admitting it's taken his team longer than he hoped to grasp his system. Until all the newcomers catch on, the Spurs still have the championship trio of Duncan, Parker and Ginobili to fall back on.

Ginobili snapped an 84-all tie with a long jumper with 3:23 remaining _ it was originally called a 3-pointer but overturned by video review _ and after Chris Duhon missed a pair of free throws, Parker and Ginobili scored on drives to the basket to make it 90-84 with 2:12 remaining. Parker answered Lee's basket by converting a three-point play, extending it to 93-86 with 1:06 to go.

Ginobili added a pair of free throws with 15 seconds to go as the Spurs pulled out their second victory in less than 24 hours, having won at Milwaukee on Saturday night. The victory delighted the many international fans who turned out to support Parker and Ginobili, with Parker waving to a large group of cheering fans after completing an interview on the court after the game.

The Knicks need to win their final two games, at Detroit and New Jersey, for their first 10-win month since going 10-8 in January 2003.

The Spurs took a 21-20 lead after the first quarter, then began to solve the Knicks' defense in the second. San Antonio shot 65 percent in that period, but Lee made all seven shots for 14 first-half points and the Spurs led only 50-47 at the break.
