The streaking San Antonio Spurs look for their 10th straight win on the road and overall when they take on LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The defending NBA champions have not lost since dropping an 89-85 decision Jan. 22 to the Denver Nuggets. San Antonio's last road loss came Jan. 7 with a 91-86 setback to the Phoenix Suns.
San Antonio is looking for its first 10-game winning streak since an 11-game run from March 25-April 14, 2004. The current nine-game road win streak already is a franchise-best.
The Spurs also have dominated the Cavaliers recently, winning four in a row while limiting James to 81 points total.

San Antonio continued its winning ways on the road Sunday with a 92-88 victory over the Indiana Pacers as Manu Ginobili scored 10 of his 29 points in the final 88 seconds.
Ginobili came through as Tony Parker struggled and Tim Duncan was recovering from the flu and trying to shake off a foot injury.
"We know that Tim is not at his best," Ginobili said. "He's still sick, weak. He's been playing with pain in his foot for a lot of games. We've got to step up and take some pressure off him. We did pretty well."
Ginobili has scored 18.4 points and is shooting 54.2 percent from 3-point range in seven games since returning from a sprained right foot suffered Jan. 20 against the Miami Heat.
"No more impressive than he is every game," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said of Ginobili. "That's how he plays. He's an ultimate warrior and that's what we see from him night after night."
James had 33 points Saturday, but the Cavs fell to the short-handed Golden State Warriors 99-91. Cleveland lost for just the second time in 15 games to Golden State, which played without forward Troy Murphy and all but nine minutes without Baron Davis.
Cavs coach Mike Brown said his team seemed to be waiting to LeBron to make something happen.
"We stood around and watched LeBron," Cavaliers coach Mike Brown said. "We didn't ever give ourselves a chance to win. We played defense for 10 to 15 seconds on each possession, then they eventually got what they wanted. Offensively, we didn't execute at all, especially late."
James has been logging more minutes with Larry Hughes sidelined by a broken finger. He has played all but 12:39 in the last five games.
"I'll never be disappointed in my team," James said. "But we were not mentally prepared and took things for granted. We can't do that."
Cleveland has just four wins in its last 24 games against San Antonio dating back to Feb. 3, 1994.

http://www.nba.com/spurs/news/daily_blog.html
Jan 30 @ Utah: Nazr Mohammed steps up with Rasho in foul trouble and grabs a team-high nine boards.
Feb 1 @ Portland: Manu Ginobili shoots 50% from the floor and hits 11 of 12 from the free throw line on his way to 22 points. In a game where the Spurs shot under 40% and took nine less shots than the Blazers, those free throws here crucial.
Feb 2 @ Golden State: Rasho Nesterovic hits 6 of his 8 attempts for 12 points while grabbing 10 boards and blocking 3 shots. It was Rasho's first double-double of the season.
Feb 8 @ Toronto: Sean Marks goes hits 8-of-9 shots on his way to 16 points. While those points were vital in an overtime-destined game, they also helped to spread the defense allowing Tony some room to operate and helped him score his 32 points.
Feb 10 @ New Jersey: Bruce Bowen holds Vince Carter to 10 of 27 shooting. Bruce finished the day with nine points and four boards, but keeping Carter in check and the Nets fastbreak to just five points was key to the win.
Feb 12 @ Indiana: Nazr Mohammed comes off the bench for a big performance once again scoring 12 points on 6-of-7 shooting and grabbing an impressive nine offensive rebounds.
