SAN ANTONIO - The San Antonio Spurs have used a rash of injuries, timely rest and an odd schedule to their advantage.Marco Belinelli was the latest beneficiary, using the added playing time available with two veterans sitting to regain some of the footing that made him invaluable last season.Belinelli had 20 points and six assists, leading a balanced attack as San Antonio set a pair of season highs in rolling to a 123-101 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night.The Spurs (15-5) had a season-high 30 assists and had their highest point total in winning their 10th in the past 11 games and fifth straight at home.San Antonio had seven players in double figures, including 18 points each from Kawhi Leonard and Cory Joseph, and 17 from Boris Diaw. Tim Duncan had 13 points and 10 rebounds.Belinelli had 17 points in the first half as the Spurs rolled to a 68-51 lead.I think he is getting his rhythm, San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. He didnt come back in great shape. At this point, he is starting to feel pretty good. The injury held him up after he was trying to get into shape. He is just beginning to start the season really.After missing eight games earlier this season with a strained right groin, Belinelli is beginning to show the versatility that made him one the teams most valuable reserves during its run to a fifth NBA championship.Belinelli and Danny Green directed a balanced attack in place of Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, who were both out with mild ailments.Everything is clicking, Green said. (Were) moving the ball well, finding guys, penetrating to the basket, getting to the free throw line. (Belinelli) came out hot for us in the first half.Zach LaVine had 22 points and 10 assists, and Shabazz Muhammad added 20 points for Minnesota (4-15), which has lost five straight.Thaddeus Youngs 18-footer on the games opening possession gave the injury-depleted Timberwolves their only lead of the game.Theyre a championship ballclub, Young said. They came out there and did exactly what they were supposed to do to a young team, which is hit us first and see how we respond. As you can see, we didnt respond well.Playing the second night of a back-to-back without five injured players, including guards Ricky Rubio, Kevin Martin and Mo Williams, Minnesota couldnt keep up with San Antonios flowing offence.TIP-INSTimberwolves: Minnesota is 1-11 this season in back-to-back games, having lost 10 straight after defeating Detroit on Oct. 30 on the second night of its first consecutive contests. ... Glenn Robinson, the father of Minnesota F Glenn Robinson III, won an NBA championship in 2005 with the Spurs. . Minnesota has used 10 different starting lineups this season, and only one has a winning record. Young, Andrew Wiggins, Gorgui Dieng, Williams and Martin won the only game they started collectively.Spurs: Ginobili (left shoulder) was a late scratch, joining Parker (strained left hamstring) on the bench. ... San Antonio is 10-2 in back-to-back games this season. ... The Spurs are 11-0 when they have 25-plus assists. They are sixth in the league in assists at 24.0 per game after leading the NBA last season at 25.2.TWO OUT OF THREE?Before the game, Popovich said the only way Duncan was going to play the second night of a back-to-back was if the veteran forward knocked him out. Popovich bore no battle wounds after the lopsided victory, but Duncan played 18 1/2 minutes. He finished with 13 points on 5-for-11 shooting along with 10 rebounds, five assists and two blocked shots. He just wants to keep his rhythm, Popovich said. It is early in the year, so we did it.SPLITTER NEARING RETURNPopovich said Spurs centre Tiago Splitter, who has only played 10 minutes this season, could see limited minutes on Tuesday in Utah and/or Wednesday at home against New York. Splitter has been sidelined with tightness in his right calf, missing all but one game this season.HISTORY MADEWith his 22 points and 10 assists, LaVine became the fourth teenager to record a double-double, joining LeBron James and Dajuan Wagner of Cleveland, and Minnesotas Stephon Marbury.UP NEXTTimberwolves: Host Golden State on Monday.Spurs: Visit Utah on Tuesday.

The trip couldnt come at a better time, as its homecourt that proving a disadvantage to Toronto this season. Kemba Walker hit a buzzer-beating jump shot in overtime to lift the Charlotte Bobcats to a 104-102 overtime victory Wednesday, handing the Raptors their eighth loss at home this season. "Its one of those things that whatever it is, were not generating enough focus. . .," said Raptors coach Dwane Casey, at a loss to explain the discrepancy between playing at home and on the road. "We have far more focus on the road than we do at home, and that is a concern. I talked to the team about it today. We have great fans, great crowd, warm building, hot building, so theres no reason why we cant come out with that type of fire and intensity and dont wait until you get hit in the mouth, punched in the mouth until we turn it on." The Raptors are 5-6 on the road this season, and just 4-8 at the Air Canada Centre. Walker scored 29 points, including his 18-footer that sealed the victory for Charlotte (12-14). Al Jefferson added 24 points. "It hurts, everyone who loses a game by a buzzer beater, youd rather get blown out by 50 than lose on a buzzer beater," said Raptors guard Kyle Lowry, who had 17 points and six assists. DeMar DeRozan scored a game-high 30 points for Toronto (9-14), while Amir Johnson had a game-high 13 rebounds to go with 10 points. Newcomer John Salmons finished with 11 points, while Jonas Valanciunas added 10. The Raptors led by as much as 16 points midway through the third, but the Bobcats closed the quarter with a 25-9 run to send the game into the fourth locked at 70-70 in front of an Air Canada Centre crowd of 15,201. It was a see-saw battle through the fourth quarter, and the Raptors trailed by three points twice in the last 21 seconds -- the difference negated the second time by Lowrys three-pointer with 12 seconds to go to tie the game 95-95. DeRozan then stripped Walker on the Bobcats last possession to guarantee overtime. Valanciunas, Johnson and DeRozan had the Raptors only three field goals in a sloppy five minutes of overtime that saw the Raptors miss on their first six shots.dddddddddddd But DeRozan made one-of-two free throws with a second left to tie it up 102-102. Walker, guarded by Valanciunas -- who was slow to get to him -- was open when he made the winning buzzer-beater. "Tough, tough one second," Valanciunas said. "He made a tough shot. Could make a better job on defence, but it happened. Could be earlier, maybe he wouldnt make that, but what happened happened." Now the Raptors depart for a tough four-game road trip that takes them through Dallas, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, and New York. The Raptors play eight of their next 10 games on the road -- a good thing, perhaps. "I dont know, I have no idea," Lowry said, on the poor home record. "I really cant explain it, I cant put my foot on it, weve really got to find a way to change it around." Lowry doesnt agree with Casey assessment that its a lack of focus. "Naw. . .weve just got to find a way to win at home, make the homecourt more of an advantage for us." The Raptors shot 43 per cent from the floor to Charlottes 46 per cent. The Raptors outrebounded the Bobcats 50-40. It was another strong game for Johnson, who injected some desperately-needed energy into one of the ugliest quarters of basketball by either team in a while. The Raptors two assists were the only assists in the quarter, and both teams shot just under a lowly 32 per cent. The Bobcats led 18-15 heading into the second. The Raptors pulled away in what was an only slightly more exciting second quarter, outscoring their visitors 32-19. DeRozan had 11 points in the frame, and Lowrys driving layup with 23 seconds left put the Raptors up by 12. They took a 47-37 lead into the halftime break. Walker scored 11 points in the third quarter as the Bobcats chipped away at Torontos lead, tying it up on a Jefferson layup with two minutes to play.
