Jamal Crawford scored 19 points off the bench and dished 6 assists as he was the primary backup point guard with Austin Rivers and Pablo Prigioni out with injuries.
San Antonio had just three players in double-figures. Tony Parker scored 14 points to lead the way in scoring. David West chipped in 12 points in 18 minutes, and LaMarcus Aldridge added 10 points.
