Posted on: Saturday, 3 January 2009, 22:51 CST

Tony Parker hit a fadeaway jumper off a rebound at the final buzzer Saturday to hand the San Antonio Spurs a 108-106 win over Philadelphia.

The Spurs had a 21-point first-quarter lead dwindle throughout the second and third quarters. The 76ers pulled even late in the game and had a chance to go ahead with less than 30 seconds remaining, but a turnover gave San Antonio the final shot.

Manu Ginobili's three-pointer was short and the rebound went to Parker at the baseline with less than 2 seconds remaining.

Parker finished with 15 points and 10 assists. Tim Duncan had 26 points and 12 rebounds and Ginobili had 21, in San Antonio's seventh win in eight games. Roger Mason had 19 points and made all five of his three-point attempts.

Philadelphia was led by Andre Miller's 28 points. Andre Iguodala had 25 points, eight rebounds and eight assists and Thaddeus Young 19 points for the 76ers.
