Tony Parker hit four free throws late in overtime to help the San Antonio Spurs beat the Houston Rockets 101-95 on Wednesday night.
Parker scored 28 points on 12-of-22 shooting to lead the Spurs. Tim Duncan had 17 points and 11 rebounds, and Kawhi Leonard added 11 points.
Kyle Lowry scored 22 points for Houston, and Luis Scola had 20. Kevin Martin added 18, and Patrick Patterson had 10 points and seven rebounds.
After Parker's free throws gave San Antonio a 98-95 lead with 22 seconds left, Chandler Parsons and Kyle Lowry missed point-blank shots. The Spurs (7-4) hit three of four free throws -- one by Leonard and two by Parker -- to hold off the Rockets (3-7).
San Antonio is 7-0 at home. The last time the Spurs won seven straight at home to start the season was when they went 13-0 to begin the 2007-08 season.
