The San Antonio Spurs ( 35 - 6 ) held on to win in a potential NBA Finals preview matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers ( 27 - 10 ) Thursday night at AT & T Center , 99 - 95 . After a tight third quarter , Cleveland led 73 - 72 , but the Spurs raced out to a 15 - 4 run to open the final period and took an 87 - 77 lead that would prove too much for the Cavaliers to overcome . The Spurs dominated inside , pulling down 11 offensive rebounds and shooting a sharp 50 percent on two - point shots . Tony Parker led all scorers with 24 points as he looks as fresh as he has all season . After scoring 31 in Wednesday 's contest against Detroit , Parker now has two consecutive games of 20 points or more for the first time all season . Parker was supported by yet another sharp game from Kawhi Leonard , who recorded a double - double with 20 points and 10 rebounds and added five assists plus strong defense against Cavaliers star LeBron James . James topped the Cavaliers with 22 points and five assists , but it was n't enough overcome San Antonio 's efficient attack . The Cavaliers got two double - doubles from their big men , Tristan Thompson ( 18 points and 14 rebounds ) and Kevin Love ( 10 points and 12 rebounds ) , but Cleveland 's bench added just 12 points , pale in comparison to the 35 San Antonio got from its reserves . Cleveland had an eight - game winning streak snap and continue their Texas road trip Friday in Houston . The Spurs will try to stay unbeaten at home Sunday against Dallas .
