SAN ANTONIO -- Manu Ginobili and the San Antonio Spurs put together a dominant offensive performance on Sunday night. The final result was a 10-game winning streak and another year with 50 victories. Ginobili scored 21 points and Tony Parker had 18, leading the Spurs to a 122-104 victory over the Utah Jazz. San Antonio (50-16) became the first NBA team to reach 50 wins, extending its league record of consecutive seasons with at least that many victories to 15. Not that it means all that much to the veteran Spurs, who are focused on winning another title. "I dont really care," coach Gregg Popovich said. "You all have to have things to write about, I guess. Its better than losing 50, I guess. Were thinking about other things and weve just had a great group of guys for a long time. Thats reason weve been able to win. Records and that sort of thing, streaks arent really on anybodys mind." The Spurs (50-16) shot a season-high 62.8 per cent from the field while improving to 4-0 against the last-place Jazz (22-45) this season. "You give them the credit," Utah coach Tyrone Corbin said. "They are a great ballclub. They know who they are. They take the right shots. They had 31 assists, so the ball moved around very well. The guys who came off (the bench), they made tough shots. Our guys competed, they are just better at what they do at this stage. You just have to give them a lot of credit." Derrick Favors had a career-high 28 points for the Jazz, who have lost four straight. Gordon Hayward scored 17 and Trey Burke had 13 points. Parker also had seven assists and Tim Duncan added 16 points and six rebounds for the Spurs. Along with Ginobili, the teams Big Three combined to shoot 22 for 32. "Were getting our rhythm," Parker said. "Manu looks good, he looks healthy. Timmy, his outside shot is coming around. Were all doing little stuff. Now we all just to have to stay healthy." Its the second double-digit winning streak of the Spurs, who won 11 in a row in November. "Were in a great situation and its great to win (50 games), but the main goal is to win a championship," Parker said. The Spurs featured their inside game early on, and then went to their sharp outside shooting. Tiago Splitter had 14 points and 10 rebounds, Patty Mills and Marco Belinelli each scored 12 and Kawhi Leonard had 11 points. San Antonio was shooting 65 per cent from the field with 6 minutes left, holding a 108-90 lead following dunks by Splitter and Belinelli and jumpers from Leonard and Duncan. "Regardless of personnel, they all pass the basketball, the ball never stops," Hayward said. "They hit the open man and defensively theyre all where theyre supposed to be at." San Antonios initial 12 points came in the paint, as well as 14 of its first 15. It finished with 56 points in the paint, compared to 52 for Utah. The Spurs had assists on five of their first six baskets, punctuated by a running dunk by Leonard off a feed from Danny Green for a 12-6 lead with 7 minutes left in the first quarter. "Offensively we were sharp today as we were in the last few games," Ginobili said. "We were not as good defensively today. We made too many mistakes. We let them score a lot of points in the paint. We knew they were going to do that. But overall, I think we cant complain. It was a good game." After falling behind 15-8, the front court of Favours, Richard Jefferson and Marvin Williams rallied Utah for its only lead of the game. The trio scored nine points in a 13-4 run, capped by a 13-foot turnaround jumper by Favours that put the Jazz ahead 21-19 with 1:43 remaining in the first quarter. "This was a great night for me," Favors said. "My teammates did a good job of finding me in the post and in my spots, and I was hitting shots. Just one of those nights for me." After finding so much inside the paint early, the Spurs turned to their long-range shooting in the second quarter. San Antonio had five different players make a 3 while making all of their long-distance attempts in the second. Greens 3 from 26 feet gave the Spurs its largest lead of that half at 54-45 with 2 minutes remaining. "The first half we did a relatively good job up until the last four or five minutes of the half of keep them off the 3-point line," Corbin said. "But they had 30 points or so in the paint. So, we wanted to make an effort to try and keep them out of the paint, and we gave up 3-point shots. They made five right there and they just took off from there."

That battle continues on Wednesday on TSN2 and TSN.ca with four matches all beginning at 2:45pm et/11:45am pt. On TSN2, David Moyess current club hosts his old one as defending champions Manchester United - unbeaten in 12 matches in all competitions - welcome Romelu Lukaku and surprising Everton. It all begins with Barclays Premier League Live at 2pm et/11am pt. On TSN.ca, Hull City - fresh off beating Liverpool for the first time in its history - looks to slay another giant, as they travel to the Emirates to take on Jack Wilshere and table leaders Arsenal. Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool hope to take out their frustrations from the weekends defeat at Hull on Norwich City when the Canaries visit Anfield. That match is also available on TSN.ca. Having been used to a two-team battle for the title and occasionally one with a third thrown into the mix, whats going on in the 2013-14 BPL season is almost unprecedented. Just 10 points separate Arsenal from ninth-place Tottenham. To put that into perspective, consider Europes other top leagues where in La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga, there is a minimum of a 20-point gap between first and ninth. United is one of those teams in the mix, but have to make up the eight points between them and from Arsenal while leaping over the six teams between them. It would have been foolish for anybody to expect United to not skip a beat after Sir Alex Fergusons retirement and Moyes taking the reins at Old Trafford, but the early season jitters appears to have abated. The team has been buoyed by the play of Wayne Rooney, arguably the best player in the BPL this season and scorer of both goals in Sundays 2-2 draw with Spurs, and the brilliant goalkeeping of David De Gea, whose game has evolved from the shakiness displayed in his first season in England just two seasons ago. That isnt to say, of course, that everything is on track. Injuries have been a major concern for the team with midfield general Michael Carrick (shin) and superstar striker Robin van Persie (groin) currently among those wounded, as well as an inability to close the door in recent matches with Cardiff City and Southampton. Van Persie, however, appears to be okay to return and may see pitch time against Everton. High-flying Everton will provide a stiff test ffor the champions.dddddddddddd Roberto Martinez, hired to replace Moyes, has his Toffees sitting in fifth, level on points with Merseyside rivals Liverpool. Few expected such a lofty position for moderate-spending Everton, but a serious of shrewd loan moves has them with only has a single loss, the fewest of any team in the league. Lukaku, on loan from Chelsea, is among the league leaders in goals with eight, while Gerard Delofeu, loaned from Barcelona, starred in Saturdays 4-0 thumping of Stoke. United and Everton split their season series last year, each winning at home. At Anfield, Rodgers and Liverpool must continue to adjust to life without Daniel Sturridge. The England international suffered ligament straining in his ankle during training last Friday. Hes expected to be out for up to eight weeks. Still, Rodgers hopes that his team will step up in Sturridges absence. "This little period now will test us," said Rodgers. "Weve got players that will come in and its a great opportunity for them to stake a claim for a place in the team." The Reds failed that first test when they dropped a 3-1 decision to Hull City on Saturday, but will have the opportunity to get back on track against a Norwich City side looking for some consistency. Though coming off a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, Chris Hughtons Canaries have yet to win consecutive games this season. Hughton also must address the added distraction of a dissatisfied Luciano Becchio. The Argentine striker recently expressed his displeasure over his lack of usage by the team and suggested that he wouldnt mind playing elsewhere. While Liverpool attempts to make up lost ground, in London, Arsenal will attempt to grab some more breathing room at the summit of the BPL. The Gunners can pull seven points clear of idle Chelsea with a win over Hull.Arsenals 3-0 win at Cardiff on Saturday was propelled by two goals from Welshman Aaron Ramsey, who is enjoying a coming out party this season. "He was phenomenal," said Gunners manager Arsene Wenger of Ramsey. "He keeps surprising me. He has matured as a player and as a person. He can still develop. When you see the improvement in him in the last two years then why should he stop now?" But Steve Bruces Hull City will not be a soft touch for Arsenal. Fresh off their first win over Liverpool in the teams 109-year history, the Tigers will be hungry to knock off another top side, after already having beaten Newcastle. ' ' '
