SPURS 93, 76ERS 76: Tony Parker collected 21 points and seven assists as host San Antonio completed a sweep of its back-to-back-to-back set.
DeJuan Blair added 19 points and Kawhi Leonard chipped in 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs, who have won four straight to solidify the No. 2 spot in the West.
The 76ers, who trounced the Boston Celtics to gain a 1 1/2-game lead in the Atlantic Division on Friday, had their lead cut back to one-half game.
San Antonio gave veteran Tim Duncan the night off on Sunday but had little trouble picking up the slack, as Blair and Parker each got off to hot starts in the first quarter.
Philadelphia hung around for the first half, closing to within 52-49 at the break. But the 76ers, who scratched Andre Iguodala with tendinitis in his left knee, could not find the offense to stick around after the break.
Philadelphia totaled 27 points on 32 percent shooting in the second half as the Spurs pulled away.
Elton Brand scored 12 points to lead the 76ers.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Spurs did not have a player on the court longer than 33 minutes and had eight go at least 20 minutes. … Philadelphia committed 21 turnovers. … San Antonio plays four of its next five on the road.
