Spurs seek to extend six-game winning streak

Mar 2, 2007 - 4:34 PM Orlando (28-31) at San Antonio (39-18) 8:00 pm EST

SAN ANTONIO (Ticker) -- The San Antonio Spurs can extend their winning streak to seven games when they host the Orlando Magic on Friday.

The Spurs have topped the century mark four times during the winning streak, while limiting their opponents to 84 points.

Closing a three-game homestand, the Spurs continued their run of success with Monday's 107-91 triumph over the Toronto Raptors. Tony Parker scored 27 points and Tim Duncan added 24 with 16 rebounds for the Spurs, who have won 16 of 17 games this season when at least five players score in double figures.

Orlando ended February with five losses in six games and is in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, one-half game behind the New Jersey Nets for the final playoff spot.

The Magic are coming off Wednesday's 111-101 loss to the Denver Nuggets. Dwight Howard collected 23 points and 12 rebounds and Jameer Nelson added 16 points for Orlando.

Howard made a one-handed dunk off an alley-oop pass with less than a second left to lead the Magic to a 106-104 victory over the Spurs in their last meeting on February 9. However, San Antonio has won 15 of 18 home encounters against Orlando.
