DALLAS - Tony Parker was sore and Tim Duncan was struggling. Yet there was no way the San Antonio Spurs were giving up, not after six months of waiting to reclaim their edge over the Dallas Mavericks.

San Antonio trailed for most of the first three quarters, but never by more than 10 points. The Spurs charged ahead over a 6:13 span in which they held Dallas without a point, then protected it down the stretch with good defense and the same kind of errant shooting by the Mavs that doomed them in their last games that counted _ their four straight losses to Miami in the NBA finals.

"It's been really frustrating," said Kesler, who has no goals and just two assists in 13 NHL games this season. "I've had numerous opportunities. It's going to come, hopefully sooner rather than later."
