The Golden State Warriors entered Wednesday night's game in San Antonio trying to make it three straight wins on the road.
The Warriors hadn't beaten the Spurs at home since Valentine's Day 1997, and there's still no love at the AT&T Center.
Tim Duncan showed why he's still the best center in the NBA, dominating the Warriors for 25 points, 13 rebounds, and 4 blocks.
Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 24 points and Jarrett Jack added 14 points and seven assists off the bench.
Andrew Bogut played 30-plus minutes scoring four points and 11 rebounds.
Golden State missed 15-of-24 shots in the second quarter but staged a valiant comeback in the fourth to come within four at the 3:38 mark. However, Duncan took over and scored a reverse layup off a steal to close the game.
Despite the loss, Coach Mark Jackson was satisfied with the 2-1 road trip saying "We looked like our old selves."
The Warriors (39-31) remain a game ahead of the Houston Rockets for the No. 6 seed in the playoffs.
Golden State faces the Washington Wizards on Saturday, March 23 at Oracle Arena.
