Matched up with a rookie who was born five years before he made his NBA debut, San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker taught the teenager that age is just a number in a 109-98 win over the Denver Nuggets.

Parker finished with a season-high 25 points and nine assists, feasting on 19-year-old Emmanuel Mudiay, who was assigned to the 33-year-old for most of the game.

Tim Duncan continued defying Father Time as well, finishing with 15 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 blocks. Duncan and Parker were joined in double figures by Kawhi Leonard (20 points), Patty Mills (17) and LaMarcus Aldridge (11).

The Nuggets managed to stay close early by hitting the glass hard, finishing with 17 offensive rebounds and 17 second chance points. But the Spurs held Denver to 38.8 percent shooting and just 5 of 15 from three.

The 9-2 Spurs will carry a six game winning streak into Friday night's matchup in New Orleans with a floundering Pelicans team.
