MIAMI (AP) -Tim Duncan had 30 points and 11 rebounds, Manu Ginobili’s driving layup with 36.5 seconds left was the go-ahead score, and the San Antonio Spurs rallied to beat the Heat 90-89 Thursday night and extend Miami’s losing streak to 15 games.
Miami’s slide is two shy of matching the franchise futility record.
Dwyane Wade scored 27 points and added nine assists for Miami, but lost the ball while driving for what could have been the winning score with 3 seconds left. Mark Blount, playing in place of the injured Shaquille O’Neal, added 23 points and Jason Williams scored 14 for Miami.
Ginobili scored 18 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists for the Spurs, who got 12 points from Tony Parker and 10 from Michael Finley.
Miami led by 10 in the third quarter, then trailed for only the second time after Parker made a pair of free throws with 2:23 left. But Wade curled past Duncan for a layup 12 seconds later to put Miami back on top, then stole the ball from Duncan on San Antonio’s next two possessions.
It still wasn’t enough, as Miami managed only eight points over the final 8:50.
Wade laid on the court after his final turnover, declining when fellow All-Star starter Duncan offered to help him up, and just stared at the scoreboard as the crowd began heading for exits.
Bucks 104, Pacers 92
