MIAMI (Ticker) -- The San Antonio Spurs can defeat the Miami Heat for the fifth consecutive time on Saturday as they continue a three-game road trip at American Airlines Arena.
The Spurs have won their last three meetings with the Heat after sweeping the 2002-03 season series. Miami has not defeated San Antonio since winning here on February 1, 2002.
The Spurs have a 23-10 all-time advantage over the Heat but are just 7-9 in Miami.
San Antonio snapped its first four-game losing streak in more than two years with Friday's 105-94 victory over the Orlando Magic, who have lost 18 in a row.
Tim Duncan scored a season-high 47 points on 19-of-34 shooting and grabbed 12 rebounds for San Antonio, which wasted an 18-point deficit before rallying from a five-point hole.
Duncan's 15th double-double in 16 games made up for a subpar performance from the starting backcourt of Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, who combined for just 10 points.
The Spurs won for the third time in four road games against the Eastern Conference despite playing without forward Malik Rose, who sat out with a strained tendon in his right ankle.
Miami opened a four-game homestand with a 93-90 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday.
Rookie Dwyane Wade scored 21 points and Eddie Jones added 20 for the Heat, who nearly came all the way back from an 18-point deficit before missing three potential game-tying 3-pointers in the final minutes.
Lamar Odom scored 19 points despite 5-of-17 shooting as Miami had its four-game home winning streak snapped.
