Los Angeles (AFP) - The San Antonio Spurs are streaking into the second half of the NBA season after notching their 11th straight victory on Sunday, 112-83 over the Dallas Mavericks.

Forward LaMarcus Aldridge scored 23 points, 13 of them in the pivotal third quarter, as the Spurs thrashed their cross-state rivals to remain unbeaten in 24 home games this season.

It was their 33rd straight home victory in a streak dating back to last season and took their record to 36-6, equaling their best start to a campaign, previously achieved in 2010-11.
