SAN ANTONIO -- The San Antonio Spurs are known for being, mostly, long in the tooth. But one of the keys to their lasting success is that fact that they’re just plain long, as in possession of lots of size and long arms to grab rebounds and clog the lane.

The Spurs knew one of the keys to beating Philadelphia is to keep the athletic but raw 76ers off the glass, especially on the offensive end. To that end, San Antonio was successful in a 92-83 victory against hapless, and winless, Philadelphia on Saturday.

LaMarcus Aldridge had 17 points and 19 rebounds and the San Antonio Spurs received double-figure scoring from four of its five starters.

Spurs guard Tony Parker and fellow native Frenchman forward Boris Diaw stood at half court before the game with their teammates as a moment of silence was observed for the victims of Friday's terrorist attacks in Paris. The French national anthem was then played as the lights of the arena were kept low in tribute.

"All my prayers go to the families of the victims," Parker said. "(Playing) the game was good. It helped me think about something else. For the past 24 hours, I’ve spent my time calling family and friends to make sure they’re okay."

San Antonio, which resides in first place in the NBA's Southwestern Division at 7-2, missed forward Kawhi Leonard, who did not play because of a respiratory infection. Guard Manu Ginobili also was out with adductor tightness but the Spurs still had enough firepower to keep Philadelphia winless after 10 games. Leonard had been the Spurs' leading scorer in five of their first eight games.

Parker scored 16 points for the Spurs and forward Tim Duncan added 15. Guard Kyle Anderson, who made his first career start, and forward David West had 10 points apiece.

Rookie center Jahlil Okafor led Philadelphia (0-10) with 21 points and added a team-high 12 rebounds. Forward Jerami Grant added 12 points for the 76ers, who were outrebounded 54-41.

"I was in position to grab so many offensive rebounds because I missed too many easy shots," Aldridge said afterward. "We knew Philly’s guys like to take quick shots from the wing and try to chase down the rebounds, so we did our best to keep them off the boards."

The Spurs wasted no time setting the tone for their wire-to-wire win by roaring out to a 10-2 lead in the game's first three minutes. Parker had six points in that opening surge for San Antonio and eight in the period, which ended with the Spurs up 20-12.

Both teams struggled from the field in the first period, with Philadelphia shooting just 22.2 percent and the Spurs hitting on only seven of their 25 shots (28 percent).

The 76ers used a 7-2 run of their own early in the second quarter, with deep 3-pointers from Grant and swingman Hollis Thompson, to cut the Spurs' advantage to 28-23. But San Antonio regained its stride, using two baskets from Duncan, two more from guard Ray McCallum and a jumper from West to push the lead back to 37-28 with 4:50 to play in the period.

"Every game is different -- we have to find a way to make a few more plays," Okafor said. "We turned the ball over. We know what we did wrong and we have to try and correct those mistakes."

Philadelphia kept within shouting distance throughout the rest of the second quarter and cut the Spurs' advantage to 43-39 on JaKarr Sampson's tip-in at the buzzer. San Antonio was 0-for-7 from behind the 3-point arc in the first half.

"Philadelphia is going to play from minute one to minute 48 with the same standard, the same hustle, the same camaraderie and that’s a tribute to their character and to Brett Brown as a coach," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.

Neither team found its shooting touch in the third quarter, but the Spurs allowed Philadelphia just two offensive rebounds and limited its second chances. Meanwhile, 3-pointers by Anderson, guard Danny Green and forward Rasual Butler for the Spurs offset a 3-pointer by Philadelphia forward Christian Wood and a steal and dunk by guard Phil Pressey and helped San Antonio pull away to a 76-60 lead entering the final quarter.

"Give our guys credit -- we didn’t roll over, and there wasn’t any backpedaling from our group," 76ers coach Brett Brown said. "If we are going to win any game with the group we have right now, it’s probably going to be really close so we need to learn to play better in crunch time."
