CHICAGO - Tim Duncan finished with 24 points and 16 rebounds, and Tony Parker
scored eight of his 22 in overtime to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 104-95
victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night.
 Parker was 6-of-14 from the field and 10-of-12 from the line and
finished with nine assists as the Spurs rebounded from a 103-84 loss at Dallas
on Saturday.
Duncan also blocked six shots — giving him 1,505 rejections for his career.
Nazr Mohammed added 15 points on 7-for-8 shooting, and Manu Ginobili had 14
points.
Tied at 91 after regulation, the Spurs outscored Chicago 13-4 in overtime.
Parker hit two free throws 30 seconds into the extra period. Luol Deng tied
it for Chicago, but Parker put the Spurs ahead for good, 95-93, with a driving
basket. Michael Finley hit a three from the corner to make it 98-93 with 3:17
left in overtime.
Deng led the Bulls with 19 points, and Ben Gordon finished with 14 after
missing six of his first seven shots. Tyson Chandler had 11 points and 12
rebounds for Chicago, which lost its second straight game.
After trailing most of the game, the Bulls tied it at 77
on Deng's basket just over four minutes into the fourth quarter. He gave the
Bulls their first lead since the opening minutes — 87-85 — when he hit two free
throws with 2:49 left after Robert Horry committed his sixth foul.
Duncan tied it with two free throws, and Mohammed picked
up a loose ball underneath and scored to give the Spurs an 89-87 lead with 1:34
left.
