SAN ANTONIO (AP) Manu Ginobili scored all eight of his points in a 18-6 run at the start of the fourth quarter, helping defending champion San Antonio beat New Jersey in a rematch of the NBA Finals.

The Spurs, who built up a small cushion after trailing most of the first half, outscored New Jersey 28-12 in the fourth in the Nets' first appearance at the SBC Center since they lost the decisive sixth game of the championship series in June.

Tim Duncan led San Antonio with 21 points and 17 rebounds, and Hedo Turkoglu had a season-high 18 points on 7-for-11 shooting. Kerry Kittles led the Nets with 30 points.
