Ginobili connected on five of San Antonio’s 12 3-pointers and made the clinching driving layup with 4.9 seconds left after Charlotte (1-6) trimmed a nine-point deficit to two.
Tyrus Thomas led Charlotte with 16 points and eight rebounds. Stephen Jackson and Boris Diaw chipped in 15 points apiece. Bobcats leading scorer Gerald Wallace had a subpar game with just seven points on 2-of-11 shooting.
