SAN ANTONIO, Texas – Manu Ginobili scored 26 points and made a key block on an attempted dunk by Kevin Durant Wednesday to lead San Antonio to a 95-87 NBA victory over Oklahoma City.

Ginobili's block in the final minutes helped stop Durant's streak of scoring 25 points or more at 29 games.

It also helped the Spurs notch a welcome victory after 2 straight defeats.

Durant had 21 points and 12 rebounds. It was the first time since December 19 that the NBA's leading scorer had fewer than 25 points.

Tim Duncan had 19 points and 15 rebounds for the Spurs, who finished on a 10-2 run after the game was tied at 85-85 with under 4 minutes left.

The Thunder lost for the second time in as many nights after the Suns snapped Oklahoma City's nine-game winning streak on Tuesday.

Tony Parker returned to San Antonio's starting lineup after missing 2 of the previous 5 games wit a strained left hip flexor.

He endured another tough game, scoring 4 points in 26 minutes.
