Spurs get thrilling 101-100 win over Mavericks after title ceremony

Tony Parker had 23 points, including the game-winning three-pointer, as the San Antonio Spurs capped an emotional NBA championship commemoration with a thrilling 101-100 victory at home over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday.

Tim Duncan had 14 points and 13 rebounds for his 14th double-double in a season opener, the most by any player in NBA history, according to Elias Sports.

Manu Ginobili added 20 points for the Spurs.

Monta Ellis scored 26 points, Dirk Nowitzki added 18 points and Devin Harris had 17 points for Dallas.

After Nowitzki gave Dallas a 100-98 lead with a fade-away jumper over Boris Diaw with 1:37 remaining, Parker drained a 3-pointer in front of the Mavericks’ bench off a feed from Diaw for a 101-100 lead. Parker was 4 for 4 on 3-pointers, matching a career high for 3s in a game.

Chandler Parsons, who left the Houston Rockets to sign with the Mavericks, missed a 3-pointer with 0.4 seconds remaining that would have won the game. His shot hit the front of the rim.

New Orleans 101, Orlando 84: Anthony Davis had 26 points, 17 rebounds and nine blocks for the Pelicans. Ryan Anderson, coming back from surgery on a herniated disk that cost him more than half of last season, scored 22 points. The Pelicans’ new 7-foot center, Omer Asik, had a double-double with 14 points and 17 rebounds. Tobias Harris scored 25 points for Orlando, while Nikola Vucevic added 15 points and 23 rebounds.
