PHOENIX -- The San Antonio Spurs continue to be the NBAs best road team.The Spurs turned a close game early in the fourth quarter into a romp, getting 18 points and 10 rebounds from Kawhi Leonard and 18 points and nine boards from Pau Gasol in a 107-92 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night.The Spurs (21-5) withstood the Suns attempt to push the tempo after San Antonio had played Wednesday, and held Phoenix to 40 percent shooting. They improved to an NBA-best 14-1 on the road.We havent really thought about that much, guard Danny Green said. Took one loss last time on the road, wanted to bounce back and play better.San Antonio took a 10-point lead early in the third quarter, but the Suns wouldnt go away until the fourth. Leandro Barbosa flipped in a finger roll and was fouled with 10:08 to play in the game, and the Suns 77-76 lead was their first since midway through the second quarter.The Spurs responded with an 11-0 run and clamped down defensively to take control of the game for good, and beat Phoenix for the eighth consecutive time.We have such a deep team, we really dont play our guys a lot of minutes. So our effort is pretty steady, Gasol said. When teams ramp it up and try to increase the intensity, they make their runs, they might get ahead at times, but then its hard for them to sustain it for 48 minutes.Devin Bookers 17 points led the Suns, who missed a chance to win consecutive games for only the second time this season.Our guys fought and gave all they could. Some games end up like this, coach Earl Watson said.Phoenix took a 39-33 lead on Tyson Chandlers dunk with 4:44 to go in the first half, but the Spurs scored 18 of the final 22 points of the half for a 51-43 lead. Two came from a steal and dunk by Leonard and his 3-pointer with 39.5 seconds left.For us we have a couple of more hurdles to get over, but that is the biggest hurdle, the fourth quarter, Suns forward Jared Dudley said. When teams go on big runs we lose our confidence. We lose our composure.TIP-INSSpurs: The Spurs moved to 6-1 in the second of back-to-back games this season. ...
