Tim Duncan returned to the Spurs line-up on Monday, scoring 18 points and grabbing 13 rebounds in just 26 minutes of play to lead San Antonio to a 112-89 rout over the New Orleans Hornets.

While Duncan returned, Tony Parker took his spot on the Spurs' bench with a quad injury.

``I felt really good, actually,'' Duncan said. ``Beno took open shots. Brent did the same thing. Everyone shared the ball real well.''
