The San Antonio Spurs won their eighth straight game on Saturday, Manu Ginobili scoring 30 points and Tony Parker 26 in a narrow 96-94 victory over the Bucks in Milwaukee.

"We're certainly very fortunate to get the win," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich told reporters.

The National Basketball Association champions Spurs are now the top seed in the Western Conference and hold a one-game lead over the New Orleans Hornets in the Southwest Division.

After a late Milwaukee surge, Ginobili hit a shot with 13.2 seconds remaining to give San Antonio a 95-94 lead and it was 96-94 when Milwaukee's Michael Redd was fouled with one second left. He missed the first shot and deliberately failed with the second before Andrew Bogut got the rebound and missed at the final buzzer.

Parker was 11-for-16 from the field in the best of the five games he has played since returning from a foot injury on February 21.

"That was the best game since he came back off the injury," Popovich said. "He looked really confident. He looked more like the Tony that we're used to."

San Antonio's Tim Duncan was held to nine points and seven rebounds.

Redd had 25 points and Bogut added 17 points and 15 rebounds for the Bucks, whose three-game home winning streak was snapped. Milwaukee lost point guard Mo Williams in the third quarter when he was ejected for arguing with officials with his team leading 58-51.

Elsewhere in the NBA, it was: 76ers 119, Suns 114; Pistons 103, Clippers 73; Jazz 113, Grizzlies 92; and Magic 118, Knicks 92.
