Devin Harris and Vince Carter scored 21 points apiece and Richard Jefferson had 18 for the Nets, who are now 3-3 since trading Jason Kidd to Dallas.

San Antonio never trailed after the opening seconds and seemingly kept New Jersey at an arm's length in a game in which both teams complained about the lack of foul calls.

ABC 7 News myTAKE - What's Your Opinion? Duncan was so mad after driving across the lane on a layup attempt in the fourth quarter that he screamed an expletive at referee Ed Malloy, telling him to call a foul.

Malloy gave Duncan a quick technical and the Nets made their final run. Carter made the technical, Jefferson hit two free throws after being fouled by Duncan at the other end, and Carter followed with a jumper to cut the Spurs' lead to 81-75.

Parker came to the rescue. He came off a Duncan screen and hit a jumper, then drove and spun in the lane for a layup and an 85-75 lead with 4:06 to play.

After Carter's basket, Bruce Bowen hit a 3-pointer from the left corner and Parker drove the lane for a basket and a 90-77 lead that sent the fans to the to exits.

Kurt Thomas got his first start for San Antonio and scored all six of his points in the opening minutes, helping the Spurs take an 18-7 lead.

New Jersey got within 43-39 late in the second quarter, but Parker scored five points in a 10-4 run that put San Antonio up by 10 at the half.

After New Jersey cut it to 63-57 late in the third quarter, former Net Jacque Vaughn drove the baseline for a reverse layup that helped give the Spurs an 11-point lead entering the final quarter.

Ime Udoka added 13 points for the Spurs, including five early in the fourth quarter.

Notes:@ Thomas, who was acquired in a trade with Seattle, was a late addition to the Spurs' starting lineup, replacing Fabricio Oberto. ... Nets backup forward Bostjan Nachbar missed the second half with a strained left hip flexor. ... Actress Eva Longoria, Parker's wife, sat near the Spurs' bench. ...The Spurs' longest winning streak last season was 13, around this time of year. ... Harris played almost 36 minutes off the bench in his second game since coming in the Kidd trade.
