SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Tre Jones had 25 points and the San Antonio Spurs overcame injuries to their two leading scorers to beat the Detroit Pistons 121-109 on Friday night, snapping a three-game skid. Spurs forward Keldon Johnson did not return after injuring his left hamstring with four minutes left in the first half. Devin Vassell was inactive with a knee injury. Despite those absences, the Spurs still managed to extend their lead to double figures in the third quarter. Romeo Langford added 15 points, Malaki Brannan had 14 and Jakob Poeltl had 11 points and 15 rebounds as San Antonio won for the first time since Dec. 29.
