"Last game was rough; our starters didn't have a great start," Aldridge said of Friday's win in Boston, when the reserves supplied 56 points.

"Today we focused on trying to come out and have both units be solid and locked in."

Bradley Beal led Washington (5-10) with 25 points and John Wall scored 21. Marcin Gortat had 10 points and 10 rebounds.

The Wizards got within 69-62 on a three-point play by Wall late in the third quarter, but the Spurs soon pushed the lead to 12 on Aldridge's 3-pointer and it was 90-76 after three quarters.

San Antonio was 23 of 29 from the free throw line while the Wizards drained 10 of 14.

"They're so disciplined and have so much experience, and a lot of guys can make shots," said Wizards coach Scott Brooks.

"But we put them on the line 29 times and we couldn't get there. That difference was definitely a big part of their win."

Parker scored 11 points in the second quarter as the Spurs opened a double-digit lead thanks to a swarming defense that led to several Washington turnovers.

"At the end of the day, it's about defense and we didn't play it at the end of the day," Beal said.
