SAN ANTONIO, Tex. - Keith Bogans hit five of San Antonio's 14 three-pointers for a team-high 17 points, as the Spurs rolled to a 133-111 victory over Minnesota, San Antonio's 12th straight win over the Timberwolves.

Tim Duncan logged 16 points and six rebounds, while Malik Hairston and Ian Mahinmi each netted 14 points off the bench for San Antonio, which finished up its slate at AT&T Center with a 29-12 record.

The Spurs will finish either sixth or seventh in the Western Conference. San Antonio is tied with Portland for sixth, but the Trail Blazers hold the tiebreaker by virtue of sweeping the season series. For the Spurs to claim the sixth spot, they have to win their final game, Wednesday in Dallas, and hope the Blazers lose later that evening against Golden State. San Antonio also picked up win No. 50 for the 11th consecutive year.

Sasha Pavlovic had 16 points for the Timberwolves, who lost their final 12 road games for a 5-36 record away from the Target Center. Al Jefferson, Wayne Ellington and Ramon Sessions each ended with 13 points in defeat, Minnesota's 22nd in its last 23 games.
