Tim Duncan had 20 points and 15 rebounds, and the San Antonio Spurs won their ninth in a row, 118-110 over the Phoenix Suns, who played undermanned again on Monday night following their blockbuster trade.

Gary Neal scored 22 off the bench for the Spurs, who improved the NBA's best record to 24-3 and are one victory from their second double-digit winning streak already this season.

Jared Dudley had 27 points for the Suns, who were still waiting to unite with trade acquisitions Vince Carter, Marcin Gortat and Mickael Pietrus. They're expected to be ready for Phoenix's next game on Thursday against Miami.

Phoenix played a night after upsetting Oklahoma City. But using only eight players, the Suns saw their halftime lead rapidly dissolve into a near-blowout.

Fatigue could have been a culprit. Grant Hill, who had 30 points and 11 rebounds in 37 minutes on Sunday against the Thunder, scored 19 points in 39 minutes. The 38-year-old entered the game averaging about 30 minutes.

Steve Nash added 17 points and 10 assists for Phoenix.

The Spurs are on another long winning streak after putting together 12 consecutive victories earlier this season. It has put the surprising Spurs atop the NBA in the midst of a historic franchise start for the four-time champions.
