The Spurs, who have the best defense in the NBA, limited the Wizards to season lows for points and shooting percentage (31.8 percent). Washington had scored 100 or more points in its last 10 games.

Gilbert Arenas, Washington's high scorer at 23.2 points per game, missed all 12 of his shots from the floor and finished with three points, while Antawn Jamison (20.3 ppg) scored six points on 2-for-8 shooting.

"I just tried to stay in front of him the whole game and stay in his face," said Parker, who guarded Arenas.

San Antonio jumped to a 21-2 lead, and the Wizards were not able to get any closer than 13 points in their first loss of 2005.
