NBA-best Spurs survive scare from Kings - and bat

Published Mar. 11, 2011 11:02 p.m. ET

Tony Parker scored 27 points, Manu Ginobili had 24 and the San Antonio Spurs won their 11th in a row over Sacramento, beating the Kings 108-103 on Friday night.

Tim Duncan added 15 for the Spurs whose streak dates to 2007, but the West's worst team didn't make it easy for the NBA-best Spurs.

The Kings led 91-88 in the fourth before the Spurs pulled away with a 17-2 run.

Jermaine Taylor and Omri Casspi led Sacramento with 16 points apiece.

For the second straight year with the Kings in town, a bat swooped down from the rafters and circled the court during the game.

The commotion ended when the bat ran smack into a fan. It apparently survived.
