The visiting San Antonio Spurs defeated the Boston Celtics, 109 - 103, at TD Center on Friday. The Spurs (13 - 3) put together a strong effort over the final three quarters after falling in a first - quarter hole to keep their road record unblemished. The Celtics (9 - 7) jumped out to a 32 - 22 advantage after the first 12 minutes, but San Antonio outscored their hosts by an 87 - 71 margin over the final three periods. Kawhi Leonard led the way with a 25 - point, 10 - rebound double - double, while the Spurs' second unit combined for 56 points, over half of the team's scoring total. The visitors were solid all the way around offensively, tallying respective 47 and 46 percent success rates from the field and three - point range. Leonard added four assists and two blocks to his team - high scoring total. Next among the starters was Danny Green, who posted 11 points, seven rebounds, two assists and four blocks. His final rejection of the afternoon was the most important, as he stuffed an Isaiah Thomas 25 - foot three - point attempt with 12 seconds left to insure the Celtics were kept at bay. LaMarcus Aldridge totaled 10 points, four rebounds, four assists and a block. Pau Gasol notably went scoreless over 17 minutes, but he did contribute five rebounds, two assists and a block. The bench more than made up for any scoring void on the part of the starting five, however, as Patty Mills led the way with 19 points, a rebound, an assist and a steal. Meanwhile, David Lee and Davis Bertans combined for a pair of 15 - point efforts, with the former also hauling in 12 rebounds and dishing out three assists. The Celtics were led by Thomas' 24 points, which he supplemented with eight assists and a rebound. Avery Bradley contributed 19 points, eight rebounds and three assists. Jae Crowder supplied 18 points, five assists, three rebounds and a steal. Al Horford registered a 12 - point, 10 - rebound double - double that also included four assists and and three blocks. Kelly Olynyk and Marcus Smart paced the bench with a pair of nine - point efforts. The Spurs continue their travels with a visit to Washington to take on the Wizards on Saturday night, while the Celtics are off until they face off with the Miami Heat on Monday night.
