SAN ANTONIO – Kawhi Leonard had 25 points and Tony Parker added 24 as the San Antonio Spurs survived a wild offensive pace to beat the Denver Nuggets 120-111 on Friday night for their fourth straight victory.

Tim Duncan added 15 points for San Antonio, which has won 11 of its past 12 home games.

The Spurs remain in seventh place in the Western Conference, 4 1/2 games ahead of Oklahoma City and a game behind Dallas.

Denver had six players score in double figures, led by 23 from Ty Lawson. Kenneth Faried added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Nuggets.

San Antonio made its first three shots in typical Spurs fashion: a 3-pointer by Danny Green, a weaving drive and floater by Parker, and a bank shot off a spin move from Duncan. San Antonio would also make its first five 3-pointers, including back-to-back from Manu Ginobili and Marco Belinelli to give the Spurs a 32-21 lead.

With new coach Melvin Hunt screaming for the team to push the ball, Denver’s second unit turned a 10-point deficit into a 33-32 lead on J.J. Hickson’s dunk a minute into the second quarter.

Both teams shot better than 52 percent and each had at least five players score in double figures. There were 10 lead changes and eight ties.
