SAN ANTONIO – Tim Duncan had 17 points and 13 rebounds and the San Antonio Spurs held on to capture their 17th straight win at home over the Atlanta Hawks, 94-92 on Wednesday night.
The Spurs had a season-high 25 assists for a balanced scoring effort that they needed to fend off the Hawks' furious rally in the final quarter.
Tony Parker had 17 points and Manu Ginobili added 12 points, including a pair of free throws with 3.8 seconds remaining.
After a closing double-team forced Jeff Teague to pass up an attempted 3-pointer, Pero Antic's shot from near halfcourt was blocked by Boris Diaw as time expired.
DeMarre Carroll, Paul Millsap each had 17 points and Al Horford had 10 for Atlanta (1-2).
The Spurs (2-1) have never lost at home to the Hawks since drafting Duncan and have won 16 of 17 overall, but they had to hold on late to extend the streak.
