Font ResizeThe San Antonio Spurs had all of their stars together for the first time in a month -- and the winning shot still came from a role player.
Kawhi Leonard made a 3-pointer with 2.9 seconds remaining to give San Antonio a 96-95 victory over the host Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday.
The Spurs, who have won 14 of their past 15, had Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili on the floor together for the first time since Jan. 13, but Leonard saved the day.
"It was tough situation and we won it," Ginobili said.
Leonard's clutch basket from the right corner off Parker's assist came after Dion Waiters' jump shot with 9.5 seconds remaining put Cleveland ahead 95-93.
Parker drove into the lane and found a wide-open Leonard in the right corner. Leonard drilled the shot.
"I thought I had the layup, but I saw Kawhi open," said Parker, who led the Spurs with 24 points. "I wasn't only playing for the win, but I'd been setting up my teammates all night."
Kyrie Irving, who was held to a season-low six points, missed a desperation runner from the top of the key as time expired.
