The defending champion San Antonio Spurs beat the division-rival Dallas Mavericks 101-100 during the opening contest of the 2014-15 regular season.

Tony Parker paced the winners with 23 points, knocking down 4-of-4 from behind the arc. Manu Ginobili chipped in 20 points and six assists, while Tim Duncan added 14 points and 13 rebounds.

San Antonio survived 21 turnovers, no Kawhi Leonard, no Tiago Splitter and no Patty Mills to edge the Mavericks, who are working to fit all their new pieces together.

Monta Ellis scored a game-high 26 points, Dirk Nowitzki netted 18 and Devin Harris tallied 17 more.

Tyson Chandler's return—eight points, 10 rebounds—was successful, but Chandler Parsons' debut was forgettable. The big-money acquisition played 34 minutes but shot 2-of-10 from the floor and missed a potential-game winner with less than three seconds remaining. He finished with five points and four rebounds.

San Antonio players, coaches and management received their 2014 championship rings during a ceremony prior to the Western Conference meeting.
