Ginobili's perfection leads Spurs

PHOENIX — Manu Ginobili made 18 free throws without a miss and finished with 30 points, and Tony Parker added 26 points in the San Antonio Spurs' 114-104 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night.

The victory was the Spurs' 29th in a row when they score 100 or more points — 14 last season and 15 this season.

Amare Stoudemire led the Suns with 28 points and 10 rebounds.

Phoenix's Steve Nash moved into 11th place on the NBA's career assist list, passing Suns coach Terry Porter, and Shaquille O'Neal became the league's seventh-leading scorer in Thursday night's loss to San Antonio.

Nash had seven assists in the first period to push his career total to 7,161.

O'Neal surpassed Hakeem Olajuwon with his first six points of the game, including a thunderous slam dunk in the second quarter. That basket gave O'Neal 26,947 career points.

MAGIC 99, CAVALIERS 88: At Orlando, Fla., Dwight Howard had 22 points and 18 rebounds, Hedo Turkoglu added 19 points and 11 rebounds, and the Magic took advantage of LeBron James' off night to beat Cleveland.

Rashard Lewis and Jameer Nelson, both selected All-Star reserves earlier in the night, also came up big for Orlando. Lewis had 19 points, and Nelson chipped in 18.

James was 10-of-27 shooting for the Cavaliers, who lost for the first time in five games. He finished with 23 points, eight rebounds and eight assists.
