"We're obviously going through a rough patch," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "We can't seem to sustain what we're tying to do offensively, and Golden State's a high-scoring team."
Roger Mason scored 24 points, and made the go-ahead shot with 23.8 seconds to play as San Antonio avoided a three-game losing streak after falling to Boston and Houston last week.
"Definitely a relief," said Mason. "Those last few games stung."
But Golden State coach Don Nelson was encouraged, despite the defeat.
"Compared to the last time we played here," Nelson said, "we have taken giant steps in the right direction. . . . At least we made them play with Duncan. We forced them to put him back in the game, so they had to beat us with their best."
Monta Ellis twice had a chance to win it for Golden State but missed a jump shot with 5.9 seconds left, then rattled an attempt off the rim as time expired.
