SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Antonio Spurs are poised to wrap up the league's best record overall this season and home court advantage throughout the upcoming playoffs.
Patty Mills drilled six 3s en route to 26 points and Tim Duncan had a solid 20 and 15 boards and the Spurs defeated the host Dallas Mavericks, 109-100, at the American Airlines Center Thursday night.
The victory gave the 61-18 Spurs a 3 1/2 game lead over the 57-21 Oklahoma City Thunder with three games left in the 82-game schedule.
Dallas, meanwhile, fell to 48-32 and clinging to the 8th and last playoffs berth in the Western Conference. The Mavs lead the 46-32 Memphis Grizzlies by just a game. Both teams play each other in the coming days.
Kawhi Leonard turned in another all-around fare for San Antonio with 16 points, 16 rebounds and five assists. Danny green added 15 for the Spurs, who led by as many as 16 and out rebounded Dallas, 48-42.
Monta Ellis guided the Mavericks with 24 while Dirk Nowitzki had 19 on 8-for-14 shooting. Jose Calderon chipped in 14. (RSM)
