The Spurs were playing their first game without leading scorer Manu Ginobili, who will have surgery on his broken left hand and is expected to be out at least two months. The Warriors, meanwhile, lost Stephen Curry to a sprained left ankle in the third quarter.

Chico beat Red Bluff 61-9 in a dual meet, Wednesday night, as the Spartans won just a pair of matches. Bryce Eggert pinned Teddy Staiger at 3:14 in the 182-pound division for one Red Bluff win, the other came in the last bout of the night. Red Bluff's 138-pounder Dallas Hethcoat scored a late takedown in the first period to grab a 2-0 lead. Chico's Blake Eagelbrecht took advantage of a restart with 4 seconds left in the period to the cut the score to 2-1. Eagelbrecht chose down to start the second period and earned an early reversal to take a 3-2 lead. Het- hcoat fought back for his own rever- sal to take a 1-point lead of his own into the final frame. Hethcoat chose to start the third period down and got an easy escape to push his lead to 5-3, and he was able to hold on for the final minute to give the Spartans one last win on the evening.

Parker lifts Spurs over Warriors State (2-4). The Warriors led 75-70 entering the fourth quarter. Parker, though, scored 10 points in the fourth quarter for San Antonio (4-2). Curry hurt his ankle with 2:49 remaining in the third quarter when he appeared to land wrong after jumping. He went to the bench after a timeout but was then escorted to the locker room and never returned. The Spurs outscored the Warriors 31-20 in the fourth quarter. The Spurs have won 27 straight games at home against the Warriors, last losing Feb. 14, 1997. San Anto- nio has defeated Golden State 13 straight times. Tim Duncan had 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs. Richard Jefferson added 17 points and DeJuan Blair had 12 points. James Anderson, who replaced Ginobili in the starting lineup, scored only five points on 2-of-6 shooting. Curry had 20 points and eight assists before leaving with the injury, and David Lee had 13 points and 10 rebounds. Ginobili tweeted Wednesday that he'll have a plate screwed onto his shooting hand Thursday. He broke his fifth metacarpal, below his pinkie, during the second quarter of a loss at Minnesota on Monday night. ''Not thrilled,'' tweeted Ginobili, who's averaging 17.4 points per game. Ginobili injured his hand in the season's fifth game when he fouled Anthony Tolliver as he jumped to shoot the ball. ''Six to eight weeks is the most common things that's been thrown around, so I assume that's what it is unless the docs figure out differently tomorrow,'' Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. NOTES: Lee missed the Warriors' previous game with food poisoning. . Duncan picked up a technical foul with 8:47 remaining for arguing with the refs. Warriors sign free agent G Nate Robinson 8 p.m. OAKLAND (AP) — The Golden State War- riors wanted to bolster their backcourt with some scoring punch off the bench. Once again, they're hoping big things come in small packages. The Warriors com- pleted a deal to sign free agent Nate Robinson on Wednesday night, adding another flashy but undersized guard to a backcourt that already features Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry. The team announced the move before playing at San Antonio. Robinson is expected to join the Warriors in Los Angeles on Thurs- day. He'll wear No. 2 when Golden State faces the Lakers on Friday night, but it's unclear how soon he'll play. The three-time NBA slam dunk champion is expected to provide depth at guard. Curry already has sprained his troublesome, surgically repaired right ankle twice this season. At 5-foot-9, Robinson makes the combo of Curry and Ellis — often the target of the team's defensive struggles with each at 6-foot-3 — look like a towering two- some. Robinson, a seventh- year pro, was sent from Boston to Oklahoma City as part of the deal that brought center Kendrick Perkins to the Thunder at the trade deadline last season. Robinson averaged 3.3 points and 1.5 assists in 7.5 minutes per game in his short Oklahoma City tenure. Thunder general man- ager Sam Presti announced the 27-year- old Robinson's release Dec. 24. Robinson did- n't attend Oklahoma City's training camp after the lockout was lifted, and Presti said then that it was ''unlike- ly he will have an oppor- tunity to contribute on a nightly basis.'' During the offseason, Robinson was arrested for urinating in public outside a bookstore in a New York City suburb. He also had been train- ing in his hometown of Seattle but it's unclear what kind of shape he'll be in with no preseason or training camp and the season already a few weeks old. Certainly, the War- riors are counting on contributions immedi- ately. Golden State was 2-3 under first-year coach Mark Jackson heading into Wednesday night's game at San Antonio. With Curry's constant injury concerns and little productivity coming from the bench, the War- riors hope Robinson — while also not known for his defense — can pro- vide some scoring punch. Rookies Klay Thomp- son and Charles Jenkins and second-year guard Ish Smith have shared time off the bench with mixed results. Robinson turned out to be a key contributor during Boston's run to the 2010 NBA finals, where the Celtics lost to the Lakers in seven games, but he has done little since. Robinson was drafted 21st overall by the Phoenix Suns in 2005 following a stellar col- lege career at Washing- ton. The Suns traded him on draft night to the New York Knicks, where he spent 4 1/2 seasons. He won the dunk contest during the NBA's All- Star weekend in 2006, 2009 and 2010. Robinson's best sea- son came in 2008-09, when he averaged 17.2 points, 4.1 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game. He has averaged 11.3 points for his career. Harrington, Fernandez lead Nuggets' rout of Kings DENVER (AP) — Al against the Kings in Denver. Harrington scored 15 points, Rudy Fernandez had 12 points to go with eight assists, and the Denver Nuggets won their third straight by beating the Sacramento Kings 110-83 Wednes- day night. Timofey Mozgov and Arron Afflalo added 11 points apiece for the Nuggets, who have won their last six meetings Playing the second of three games in three days, the Kings played from behind most of the night and lost guard Tyreke Evans for the last two quarters after he became ill. The Kings, who remained winless in three road games this season, got 26 points from DeMarcus Cousins and 23 points from Marcus Thornton. Cousins was playing in his second game since returning from a one- game banishment for, the team said, demand- ing a trade. Cousins has denied making a trade demand. Up by 17 at the half, the Nuggets stretched the lead to 66-41 on a basket by Danilo Galli- nari with 6:33 left in the third quarter. Sacramen- to scored 14 of the next 18 points, pulling to 70- 55 on Thornton's 3- pointer but wound up lagging behind Denver 85-64 going into the fourth quarter. Well in front already, Denver made it a run- away with a 9-0 burst to start the start fourth. The run was punctuated by dunks by Chris Andersen and rookie Kenneth Faried off a no-look alley oop pass from Fernandez. The Nuggets led 27- 17 after the first quarter and began the second with a 14-2 run, pulling out to a 41-19 lead on a fast-break dunk by Corey Brewer with 7:14 remaining in the period. The Kings cut the 1B Thursday January 5, 2012 Chico slams Spartans deficit to 13 on a layup by Thornton but Galli- nari pulled off a reverse layup and then got a steal to start a fast break that Harrington finished with a layup for a 56-39 lead at halftime. NOTES: The Kings conclude their only back-to-back-to-back set of the season at home on Thursday, when they host Milwaukee. ... Kings haven't won in Denver since April 5, 2008, a 118-115 decision.
