? With Tony Parker recovering from a shin contusion and the Spurs in the midst of a seven-games-in-10-days sprint, San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich will hold out veteran stars Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili from tonight's game. "I didn't have to talk them into it," Popovich said. "It's logical. It makes sense. . . . I know my team. I've been doing this for years. We've been saving minutes for Timmy and Manu since the day that they got here and I think it's prolonged their careers. We have to have them for playoffs."
