MINNEAPOLIS - Tony Parker had 26 points, and Tim Duncan made seven of eight free throws in the fourth quarter to finish with 25 points and help San Antonio beat first-place Minnesota 94-92 on Sunday.

Hedo Turkoglu had 13 points - all in the second half - and a career-high 14 rebounds, and Manu Ginobili added 11 points as the Spurs snapped Minnesota's five-game winning streak and pulled to within three games of the Wolves in the Midwest Division.

"It's huge to end the trip this way," Duncan said. "We knew it was important because they had four games on us, and we might see them again in the playoffs."

Duncan, who was 2-for-6 from the line before the fourth, calmly sank two crucial foul shots with 18.1 seconds left to give San Antonio a 92-88 lead.

Kevin Garnett, who led Minnesota with 28 points and 10 rebounds, answered with a quick layup and Duncan was fouled on the ensuing inbound.

This time, Duncan made only one of the free throws. The Wolves then opted for Sam Cassell's mid-range jumper with 8.8 seconds left instead of trying a 3-pointer for a tie. Cassell hit the shot, and the Spurs got the inbound to Ginobili, who was fouled with eight seconds to go.

Cassell had 24 points and Sprewell added 15 for the Wolves.

Lakers 104, Suns 92

PHOENIX - Kobe Bryant scored 16 of his 40 points in the fourth quarter, helping give the Lakers their first four-game winning streak since December.

Bryant also had a team-high seven rebounds and five assists, Gary Payton scored 20 points, and Shaquille O'Neal added 19 for the Lakers in their sixth victory in seven games.

The Suns have lost eight in a row.

Magic 87, Pistons 86

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - Juwan Howard's three-point play with 3.5 seconds left lifted Orlando.

Rasheed Wallace missed at the buzzer for the Pistons, who have lost eight of nine. Wallace had 14 points in his first full game for Detroit.

Howard led the Magic with 20 points, and Tracy McGrady added 19 on 3-of-20 shooting. Richard Hamilton led the Pistons with 23.

Cavaliers 92, Knicks 86

NEW YORK - LeBron James scored 22 points in his first game at Madison Square Garden, where the fans turned on the home team as the New York Knicks fell behind by 23 points in the fourth quarter.

Whether they were booing or chanting the name of the departed Keith Van Horn, the matinee crowd let it be known that they weren't happy seeing the Knicks play so poorly. The loss was the fourth in five games for New York, which now embarks on a four-game Western road trip.

Stephon Marbury shot just 4-for-21 in the first three quarters and finished 13-for-34 for 30 points for the Knicks.

Pacers 94, Jazz 80

INDIANAPOLIS - Jermaine O'Neal had 21 points, 10 rebounds and seven blocks to help Indiana pull away in the fourth quarter.

O'Neal shot just 4-of-10 from the field but hit 13-of-15 free throws as the Pacers repeatedly went inside in the second half and won for the fifth time in six games.

Andrei Kirilenko scored 22 points and Raja Bell added 21 for Utah.

Bucks 113, Wizards 85

WASHINGTON - Michael Redd scored 25 points to help Milwaukee snap a seven-game road losing streak.

Keith Van Horn, playing his second game since the trade that brought him from New York, came off the bench to score 13 points.

Gilbert Arenas led Washington with 21 points. The Wizards have lost five straight, four by at least 22 points.

Kings 96, Raptors 81

TORONTO - Peja Stojakovic scored 27 points and Mike Bibby had 21 to lead Sacramento. Bibby had 18 points in the second half for the Kings, who were without injured center Brad Miller, suspended forward Chris Webber and injured guard Bobby Jackson.

Chris Bosh had 20 points for the Raptors, who tied a season-high with their fifth straight loss. Toronto is in danger of falling out of the playoff race after losing Vince Carter and Jalen Rose to injuries.
