The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Phoenix Suns , 107 - 92 , Thursday at Talking Stick Resort Arena . The Spurs ( 21 - 5 ) managed to extend their league - best record away from home this season to 14 - 1 , but it did n't come easy , as they held just a three - point lead going into Thursday 's final period . From there , however , San Antonio put on a clinic , dominating the Suns in the 4th quarter 33 - 21 . It was a balanced attack from the Spurs , with four of their five starters scoring in double figures and five players in total reaching double digits . Kawhi Leonard led the way , recording a double - double of 18 points and 10 rebounds , while Pau Gasol matched Leonard 's 18 points and grabbed nine boards of his own . LaMarcus Aldridge scored 14 points , Tony Parker managed 11 points , while Dewayne Dedmon scored 11 points off the bench . For San Antonio , the game was won at the foul line , as the team hit 24 of their 26 attempts from the charity stripe ( 92 percent ) . For the Suns ( 8 - 18 ) , their fight only lasted three quarters because they could n't get anything productive from their best offensive weapons . Eric Bledsoe , who had been averaging 31 points over his previous three games , shot just 5 - of - 14 from the field for 14 points in 30 minutes . His fellow starter in the backcourt Devin Booker did n't have a much better night , shooting 6 - of - 19 from the field en route to a team - high 17 points . As a team , the Suns shot a respectable 37 percent from behind the arc overall , but it was their shots inside the three - point line that doomed them , as they ended up shooting just 40 percent overall . Up next , the Spurs will head home Sunday to take on the Pelicans , while the Suns will have to travel to Oklahoma City on Saturday to play the Thunder .
