SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Tony Parker scores 23 points and Tim Duncan has 12 points and 16 rebounds as the slumping San Antonio Spurs snap a mini-losing streak with a 99-86 win tonight over the New Orleans Hornets.

Manu Ginobili had 19 points and Michael Finley added 14 for the Spurs, who had lost two straight and five of nine.

David West, in his first game after missing the last 30 with an elbow injury, scored 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for the Hornets. Bobby Jackson, back from a rib injury, had 14 points.

Tyson Chandler added 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Hornets, who had a three-game winning streak snapped.

The game included three ejections. San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich was tossed midway through the first quarter, and with one minute left in the game, the Hornets' Desmond Mason and Chris Paul -- who was on the bench wearing street clothes -- also were ejected.
