Ginobili helps Spurs clinch division title.
(From AP Worldstream)
Byline: LAURAN NEERGAARD
Manu Ginobili scored 18 points and Tim Duncan added 16 to help the San Antonio Spurs beat the Utah Jazz 115-82 and clinch the Southwest Division title and the best record in the NBA's Western Conference on Monday.
The Spurs earned the No. 1 seed and homecourt advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs.
"It's great to get (homecourt) wrapped up," Duncan said. "I'm feeling good right now _ feeling healthy. I think we all feel pretty good right now, and that's the main thing."
San Antonio (62-19) took a 19-point lead into the fourth quarter and led by as many as 36 points, allowing the Spurs to rest their starters as the playoffs draw near.
Duncan hit 7-of-13 shots and had five rebounds in 22 minutes. He left the game and did not return with 3:54 remaining in the third quarter when the Spurs had a 14-point lead. Ginobili played 25 minutes.
