    NBA.. Spurs down Nets


    Forward LaMarcus Aldridge has just 10 points in his second game with Tim Duncan and the Spurs.


    San Antonio got big production from its Big Three, tenacious defense from everyone and used a fiery halftime rant from coach Gregg Popovich to get its first win of the seasonto a 102-75 NBA win over Brooklyn.

    Patty Mills finished with 11 points, three assists and three rebounds on Friday as San Antonio regrouped after a sluggish opening to the game.

    Brook Lopez led Brooklyn with 17 points while Kawhi Leonard top scored for the Spurs with 16.

    Elsewhere, Russell Westbrook scored 48 points and Kevin Durant poured in 43 to lead Oklahoma City to a 139-136 away victory over Orlando in a double-overtime thriller.

    Westbrook and former NBA MVP Durant combined for nine of the Thunder's 13 points in the second overtime.

    "Sometimes, you just have to let the big dogs run," said Durant, who missed 55 games last season with ankle and foot injuries. "That was fun out there tonight. Russell was almost super-human."

    The Thunder had erased an 18-point deficit in the fourth quarter, then led through most of both overtimes.

    Westbrook banked in a 38-foot desperation shot with 0.7 seconds left in regulation to force the first extra period with the score at 117-117.

    Durant had knotted the score at 114-114 with a three-pointer after the Magic had led the entire game and opened the final quarter with an 18-point lead.

    In the first overtime, Victor Oladipo - with a triple-double of 21 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists - sank a game-tying three-pointer to force the second extra session.

    The Magic came up empty on two attempts to tie the score in the waning seconds of the second overtime.

    Detroit also worked overtime to remain unbeaten with a 98-94 victory over Chicago.

    The Pistons are 3-0 for the first time since 2008-09.

    Marcus Morris scored 26 points and Andre Drummond added 20 plus 20 rebounds for the Pistons while Reggie Jackson - recording his 1000th career assist in the third quarter - chipped in 22 points and seven assists.

    The Pistons scored on their first three possessions of overtime.

    Jimmy Butler made a three-pointer to cut Detroit's lead to 96-92 but Chicago couldn't pull any closer.

    In Cleveland, the Cavaliers were feeling the love - specifically 24 points and 14 rebounds from Kevin Love - in a 102-92 victory over Miami.

    Love's back-to-back three-pointers in the third quarter gave the Cavs some room after the Heat had trimmed the deficit to three points.

    Cavs superstar LeBron James added 29 points against his former team, later praising Love, who has recorded double-doubles in his past two games.

    "He showed why he's one of the best power forwards in our league," James said. "We need to continue to ride his coat-tails."


    Stephen Curry scored 25 points to lead the NBA champions Golden State to a 112-92 victory over the Houston Rockets in a rematch of last season's Western Conference Finals.
