Spurs hold off Suns, Reach 50 Wins

San Antonio Spurs 98
Phoenix Suns 95
San Antonio, TX - March 18 (Ticker) -- Tim Duncan got off to a fast start and then helped carry the San Antonio Spurs down the stretch
Tim Duncan had a huge night for the Spurs as he notched up 20 Points to go along with 16 Rebounds to lead the Spurs to a tight 98-95 win, The Suns once again had double doubles from Nash and marion but it wasn't enough as San Antonio's stingy defense held on.
Despite solid defense on SA Guards Manu Ginobli and Tony Parker the Suns did not defend well inside the paint and that was a key reason for their defeat, Phoenix had their chances down the strech but didn't capatalise and even had a chance to send it to OT but Raja's Bell shot aganizingly went in and out as the Spurs beat Phoenix to finish the season series at 2 a piece.
