Published February 05, 2015

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.
