SAN ANTONIO — Tony Parker prevailed in a clash of All-Star point guards, scoring 25 points and stretching San Antonio's division lead over Chris Paul and the New Orleans Hornets in a 106-93 win tonight.

Paul, who scored 38, will start ahead of Parker for the Western Conference at the All-Star game in two weeks, and he had the kind of game that showed why.

But Manu Ginobili added 20 points, including a poster-worthy dunk over David Armstrong that made the home crowd erupt.

The Spurs pushed their lead over the Hornets in the Southwest Division to three games before leaving for their annual Rodeo Road Trip, which will keep San Antonio on the road for eight games in three weeks.
