Tim Duncan collected 20 points and 13 rebounds as San Antonio Spurs took a 2-1 lead over Denver Nuggets with a 96-91 away win on Saturday.
Tony Parker had 21 points and six assists for the Spurs, who relied on their trademark defense in the final period to secure the victory.
Robert Horry, who owns six championship rings as a member of the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers and Spurs in his 15th NBA season, showed his prowess in Denver.
The 36-year-old forward, who hinted that this will be his last season, drained an off-balance jumper with his foot on the line to make it 94-87 with 43 seconds left.
San Antonio went on a 14-5 run to end the third quarter, capped by Horry's three-pointer with six seconds left to make it 75-67.
The spurt set the tone for the final period, which featured shut-down defensive efforts from Duncan and Horry.
