HOUSTON (AP) Tim Duncan scored 28 points and Manu Ginobili hit two driving layups in the final minute. It was San Antonio's fifth straight victory and fourth in a row on the road.

The Spurs beat the Rockets for the sixth straight time.

The Spurs led 67-54 with 10:37 left, but the Rockets tied it 78-78 with 2:01 to play on a jumper by Yao Ming off a pass from Steve Francis.

Duncan tipped in the go-ahead basket with 1:38 to play and Ginobili fought his way through the lane twice for layups. He then hit a free throw for the final point of the game.

Francis missed a desperation 3-pointer as the game ended.
