ORLANDO, Fla. -- In a preseason tuneup against Orlando, San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich limited his veterans' minutes and paved the way for the Magic to pull out a close victory.

 

It was a feel-good moment for first-year Orlando coach Jacque Vaughn, a former Spurs assistant, to best his former mentor in their first meeting.

 

That was the preseason. This time the teacher showed his pupil no mercy.

 

Manu Ginobili had 20 points, Gary Neal scored 19 and the Spurs earned their fifth consecutive victory, racing past the Magic 110-89 on Wednesday night.

 

Tim Duncan added 15 points in 27 minutes, and Tony Parker chipped in 14 points and eight assists.

 

"We're just playing basketball the way we've been playing it," Duncan said. "Whoever is put in front of us, that's how we're playing. We've been playing well for a couple of games here and we hope to continue it."

 

The Spurs posted their eighth consecutive victory on the road and have now beaten the Magic in five of their past six meetings.

 

Arron Afflalo led the Magic with 16 points, followed by Jameer Nelson with 14. The Magic struggled from the field, connecting on only two of their 15 3-point attempts.

 

Orlando has lost two straight and will conclude its season-high, five-game homestand Friday against Brooklyn. San Antonio will end its six-game road trip Thursday in Miami.
