Australian NBA star Patty Mills has continued his stunning return from injury with a 19-point haul in San Antonio's 108-93 win over Minnesota.
Mills landed seven of 11 off the bench in Minneapolis on Saturday for his highest score of the season, helping hand the Timberwolves their 15th straight loss.
Barely 24 hours earlier, the Boomer added 15 points in the Spurs' victory over Phoenix - including two three-pointers in the closing minutes.
Mills spent six months on the sidelines after having shoulder surgery in the off-season and has averaged 10 points a game since making his comeback on December 28.
Saturday night wasn't so joyful for fellow Australians Joe Ingles and Dante Exum, whose Utah Jazz went down 97-82 away to the Houston Rockets.
Ingles managed only two points in 18 minutes, while Exum bagged three in his seven minutes of court-time - his most brief appearance of the NBA season.
Meanwhile, Pau Gasol collected a career-high 46 points and 18 rebounds in Chicago's 95-87 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Kemba Walker scored 28 points as the Charlotte Hornets extended the New York Knicks' losing streak to 15 games with a 110-82 victory.
Los Angeles nabbed their sixth win in eight games, beating Dallas 120-100, while a second-half blitz from Brandon Jennings helped lift Detroit against Brooklyn 98-93.
Earlier, Toronto ended a four-game losing streak with a 109-96 victory over Boston.
