Tim Duncan had 30 points and 11 rebounds, Manu Ginobili's driving layup with 36.5 seconds left was the go-ahead score, and the visiting San Antonio Spurs rallied to beat the Heat 90-89 Thursday night and extend Miami's losing streak to 15 games.

Dwyane Wade scored 27 points and added 9 assists for the Heat, but he lost the ball while driving for what could have been the winning score with three seconds left. Mark Blount, playing in place of the injured Shaquille O'Neal, added 23 points and Jason Williams scored 14 for Miami.

Ginobili scored 18 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists for the Spurs, who got 12 points from Tony Parker and 10 from Michael Finley.

Bucks 104, Pacers 92: Michael Redd scored 37 points, and Andrew Bogut had 17 points and 11 rebounds, leading host Milwaukee over Indiana.

Redd scored 10 in the fourth quarter, playing every minute of the second half and 45 minutes overall as the Bucks won for only the second time in eight games.

Mike Dunleavy scored 22 points and Danny Granger added 20 for Indiana, which has lost three of four since star forward Jermaine O'Neal went out with a bruised left knee.
