NBA -- Road kill continues, Spurs beat winless Wizards By Homer D. Sayson PhilBoxing.com Tue, 27 Nov 2012  CHICAGO -- Oops, the best NBA road team did it again. The San Antonio Spurs claimed another road triumph Monday night, beating the winless Washington Wizards -- 118-92 -- at the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. It was the Spurs' fourth consecutive road win and eighth overall for the season. The Spurs, who are on the midst of a six-game road trip, improved to 12-3 while the Wizards fell to 0-12 and are six games away from tying the 2009-2010 New Jersey Nets' record 0-18 start. Coming off a double-overtime victory over the Toronto Raptors just the night before, none of the Spurs starters played more than 25 minutes. But resting its top guns hardly mattered as San Antonio built a 60-48 halftime cushion that proved enough to hold off the Wizards. Boris Diaw led seven Spurs players who scored in double figures with 16 points. Tony Parker and Tiago Splitter had 15 each. Tim Duncan had 14, Manu Ginobili 13 and Matt Bonner 11. The Spurs made 45 of 80 field goals (56.2 percent) and 13 of 23 threes (56.5 percent) Jordan Crawford topscored for Washington with 19 while Kevin Seraphin had 18. Martell Webster finished with 16 while A.J. Price and Bradley Beal contributed 11 apiece. The Wizards had a hard time connecting field goals against the stingy Spurs defense, making only 37-of-90 shots (41.1 percent) and 4-of-14 from three-point land (28.6 percent). San Antonio barely outrebounded the Washington, 43-40, but the assist battle was one-sidedly dominated by the Spurs -- 32-13 --and that statistic told heavily on the overmatched Wizards, who only had 10 turnovers to San Antonio's 15.
