Tony Parker scored the Spurs' final six points Wednesday night, helping lift San Antonio to a 101-95 victory over the Golden State Warriors.
The Spurs were playing their first game without leading scorer Manu Ginobili, who will have surgery on his broken left hand and is expected to be out for at least two months. The Warriors, meanwhile, lost Stephen Curry to a sprained left ankle in the third quarter.
Monta Ellis scored 38 points on 15-of-30 shooting to lead Golden State (2-4). The Warriors led 75-70 entering the fourth quarter. Parker, though, scored 10 points in the fourth quarter for San Antonio (4-2).
Curry hurt his ankle with 2:49 remaining in the third quarter when he appeared to land wrong after jumping. He went to the bench after a timeout but was then escorted to the locker room and never returned.
