SAN ANTONIO — The day before, it had snowed here for the first time in 28 years, but another streak just wouldn’t end.

The Celtics still haven’t won in the Spurs’ gym since March 31, 2011. The run moved to six straight setbacks last night, but not until Kyrie Irving’s 3-pointer from the right corner made a full tour of the rim in the final second.

Irving, playing the final night with his mask to protect a facial fracture, had 36 points, but 40-year-old Manu Ginobili hung a 105-102 loss on the Celts on a second-chance trey with five seconds left after he’d rebounded a Rudy Gay miss.
