SAN ANTONIO ? The San Antonio Spurs jumped out to a big lead early Saturday against the Sacramento Kings, and then they held on.

The Spurs fended off several second-half runs by the high-scoring Kings on their way to a 108-100 victory. The win was San Antonio’s 12th in the last 13 games.

Tony Parker matched his career high with 32 points, 19 of them coming in the opening quarter, to lead the Spurs.

“I was feeling it in the first quarter, and just took advantage,” said Parker, who was 6-of-7 in the first. “I felt hot.”

Parker’s shooting wasn’t the only part of his game that hurt the Kings.

“He shot well from the outside, but his runner and his penetration killed us,” Sacramento coach Rick Adelman said.

Tim Duncan added 18 points and 15 rebounds for San Antonio, but it was the play of the 20-year-old Parker that was the difference.

“Tony Parker came out ready to play,” said Sacramento guard Bobby Jackson, who scored 19 points off the bench. “He played like an All-Star. … He’s the future of their team.”

Stephen Jackson scored 14 points for the Spurs, Malik Rose had 10 and David Robinson grabbed 12 rebounds.

“This win gets us in the right mindset and focus for the late stretch of the season,” said Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, whose team travels to Houston for a game today before playing host to Phoenix and New Jersey later in the week.

Chris Webber scored 36 points on 17-for-26 shooting for the Kings, whose five-game winning streak was stopped. Peja Stojakovic added 20 points, 13 of them in the second half.

San Antonio's Tony Parker, who poured in 32 points, looks to shoot as Sacramento's Jim Jackson, left, defends. The Spurs defeated the Kings, 108-100, Saturday in San Antonio.

San Antonio led by as much as 17 points in the first half and had a 13-point lead, 84-71, after three quarters.

Sonics 109, Clippers 101

Los Angeles — Ray Allen scored a season-high 40 points as Seattle ended a six-game road losing streak. Fresh off a 107-90 victory over the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers the previous night, the Sonics extended their overall winning streak to four games with help from Predrag Drobnjak’s 19 points and seven rebounds.

The win pulled the Seattle within 21¼2 games of the Suns for the eighth and final Western Conference playoff spot.

Hornets 97, Suns 92

Phoenix — Jamal Mashburn scored 13 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter as New Orleans extended its winning streak to six games. Phoenix came within 93-92 on two foul shots by Shawn Marion with 29 seconds to play, but, after a timeout, Courtney Alexander put up an 18-footer that bounced high off the front rim and dropped through with 9.8 seconds to play.

Mavericks 114, Grizzlies 87

Dallas — Dirk Nowitzki scored 28 points, 10 during a decisive 13-0 third-quarter run, as Dallas completed a four-game season sweep of Memphis. Nowitzki scored 13 points and went 3-of-4 from three-point range during the third quarter when Dallas outscored Memphis 28-17.

The Grizzlies were without starting center Lorenzen Wright, who returned to Memphis to be with his family following the death of his 11-month-old daughter, Sierra, on Saturday morning.

Wizards 101, Bulls 93

Washington — Juan Dixon stole the spotlight in Michael Jordan’s last game against the Chicago Bulls.

In a game marred by seven technical fouls, Dixon made his first NBA start and led the Washington Wizards with 27 points and six rebounds.
