Spurs Beat Heat 125-95: Miami Loses Four Of Last Five Games

Posted on | March 6, 2011 | 5 Comments

SAN ANTONIO — Manu Ginobili scored 20 points, Tony Parker made a surprise return to the starting lineup and the San Antonio Spurs handed the skidding Miami Heat their most lopsided loss of the season, 125-95 on Friday night

Instead, they came up speechless

LeBron James scored 26 points and Dwyane Wade had 19. It won’t get much easier for the Heat, who return home to play Chicago on Sunday

The Heat? They weren’t in such a light mood

The Spurs extended their franchise-record home winning streak to 22 games. It’s just another milestone in what is so far the best regular season in team history

“We don’t want to hear anything about that’s not going to happen this year for us, or it takes a long time for championship teams to be built,” Spoelstra said before tipoff. “Or it takes battles or the proverbial wars together

The Spurs also got Parker back way earlier than expected – he missed only two games after spraining his left calf on Sunday. San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich joked before tipoff that “the foie grois and truffle treatment really worked” on his French star

In the first meeting between these NBA heavyweights, the Spurs (51-11) improved the league’s best record and kept the Heat in a tailspin. A night after blowing a 24-point lead in a stunning loss to Orlando, Miami trailed by 24 after just one quarter and lost for the fourth time in five games

Chris Bosh had 17 points and Mike Miller 12 for the Heat. Erik Dampier, making his sixth straight start, had no points and two rebounds before being ejected for shoving Parker hard to the ground in the third quarter

San Antonio hit a franchise-record 17 3-pointers, including eight during a runaway first quarter. It left the Heat looking as shocked as they did Thursday night while the Magic pulled off the second-biggest comeback in the NBA this season
