CLEVELAND - Out of timeouts, LeBron James had no choice but to hurry up the floor. With the clock ticking down, James tried to dribble behind his back and had the ball — and game — bounce away.The San Antonio Spurs stopped him again.Tim Duncan and Boris Diaw scored 19 points apiece and the defending NBA champions beat Cleveland for the 10th straight time with a 92-90 win over James and the Cavaliers on Wednesday night.Manu Ginobili scored on a layup with 18 seconds left, made a free throw with 9.1 to go and harassed James into his costly turnover with 1.9 seconds remaining.

Thats how the ball rolls sometimes.Anderson Varejao scored 23 points, Kyrie Irving added 20 and James had 15 for the Cavs, who fell to 5-5 and arent rolling the way most predicted.James was just 6 of 17 from the field, Kevin Love went 4 of 12 and Clevelands bench contributed 17 points.After Ginobili missed his free throw, James charged forward with both Duncan and Ginobili blocking his way. As the crowd roared, James appeared to be headed toward a game-tying or winning basket, but it didnt go the way he planned.Not much has so far in his homecoming season.Still, the four-time MVP felt the Cavs, who are suffering growing pains under first-year coach David Blatt, improved.This is a game Im happy about, James said. I hate to lose, but Im happy about the progress we made tonight.Ginobili felt fortunate that James didnt drive past him.I tried to make him change direction, Ginobili said. Then I was going to chase him. I think it was a bad move by me. I should have run backwards. Its not that easy. Hes so quick. Hes so amazing. I just was there.James insisted the game would not be a measuring stick for the Cavs, who are still trying to figure things out in the first weeks of the season. He warned it would take time for Cleveland to jell as a team and, as usual, James is dead on.Cleveland hasnt beaten San Antonio since March 8, 2010, during James first stint with the Cavs.Following Mondays loss to Denver, James warned his teammates theyd better not come out flat or they would be embarrassed by the Spurs, whom he called the Patriots of the NBA. Cleveland was ready, and with James on the bench with three fouls, Irving buried two straight 3-pointers and scored eight in a row to give the Cavs a 47-36 lead.FAMILIAR FEELINGJames said Clevelands early struggles remind him of the 9-8 start he had in Miami four years ago.Weve got to continue to play, continue to watch film, continue to go over situations, continue to be in situations and you learn from it, he said. I think we learned from the game Monday and we came with a defensive mindset that we havent had this year against a very, very good team — a great team.MORE THAN A GAMEGinobili admitted this wasnt just another regular season contest.It was a big game, he said. First, it was on the road. And theyre one of the best teams in the league. Theyre scary when they get hot. Some shots you see from Kyrie you say, How the hell did he do it? LeBron attacks the rim and Kevin Love can get hot. A game like this will help him. Theyre a new team.STOPPERNot known for his defence, Irving did a solid job on Tony Parker, who scored just eight points on 2 of 7 shooting.He played the best defensive game Ive seen him play all season, Blatt said. He took the challenge.TIP-INSSpurs: Coach Gregg Popovich believe the Cavs will get it together. The Cavs, what you see now, you can multiply by two or three, Popovich said. Theyre going to be one hell of a team. Its a new system, new bodies. It doesnt happen quickly. Im glad were playing them now. Theyre going to be a whole lot tougher later on in the year. ...

LOUIS -- The Tampa Bay Rays have placed right-handed pitcher Joel Peralta on the 15-day disabled list with an undisclosed illness.AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas quarterback David Ash has given up playing football after suffering at least one concussion and lingering symptoms over the last year. Longhorns coach Charlie Strong said on Wednesday that he told Ash "there was no way we were going to let you back on the field." Added Strong, "His health is our major concern." Strong said that Ash would remain a part of the program working with the teams younger quarterbacks. Ash, a junior, suffered a concussion during the second week of the 2013 season in a game at BYU. That is the only concussion that Ash and the team have acknowledged. He returned two weeks later, against Kansas State, but left that game with what Texas officials called a head injury. He missed the rest of the season. Ash was determined to return this season, but he acknowledged that there was some concern among family members. He played in the opener, a victory against North Texas, but experienced headaches and dizziness after the game, Strong said. Ash missed the next two games. The Longhorns have off this week. Strong said Ash approached him to discusss the future.dddddddddddd Ash played in 29 games at Texas, starting 22. He ranks seventh in school history in career touchdown passes (31) and eighth in passing yards (4,728). Sophomore Tyrone Swoopes started the last two games for the Longhorns, losses to BYU and UCLA. Swoopes has completed 44 of 65 passes (67.7 per cent) with three touchdowns against one interception. Swoopes completed 24 of 34 against UCLA, including two touchdowns. "Tyrone played very well," Strong said. Strong sounds like a coach who would prefer that Swoopes take every meaningful snap for the rest of the season. His backup, Jerrod Heard, is a freshman who has not appeared in a game and is eligible for a redshirt season. "Well go with Tyrone as long as we can unless something happens," Strong said. Strong said he did not want to use Heard "just to play him. If he plays 25 snaps for a year, youve wasted a year." The Longhorns lost another starter against UCLA on Saturday. Defensive tackle Desmond Jackson will undergo foot surgery and probably miss the rest of the season, Strong said.
