Basketball: Kawhi Leonard pushes Spurs to NBA win over struggling Heat

Kawhi Leonard finished with 24 points and 12 rebounds as the San Antonio Spurs won their second straight game at home with a 94-90 victory over the Miami Heat.

Leonard on Monday had five points in a key stretch in the fourth quarter as the Spurs sent the Heat to their fifth consecutive loss in front of a crowd of 18,400.

The Spurs led 86-81 with 2:22 to play after seven consecutive points in a minute-and-a-half span by the Heat's Dion Waiters.

But Leonard hit a free throw, reserve guard Patty Mills added two more free throws, and forward LaMarcus Aldridge grabbed a key offensive rebound to power the Spurs to a rare home victory.

The Spurs have struggled at the AT&T Center this year, losing their first three home games of November.

San Antonio made five of its six free throw attempts in the final minute.
