Parker checked back in and soon had the lead growing again, ducking under Darrell Arthur to hit a floater and then knocking down a 3-pointer from the right wing to make it 83-70 with 8:14 to play. But then Parker finally went cold, missing five straight shots down the stretch as the Grizzlies rallied back. He had 14 assists in the second and third quarters and went past his career-high for the regular season of 17 during overtime. "He was unbelievable," Duncan said. "I know he's exhausted. We asked a lot of him. He was controlling the ball every time down the floor and he was making every right play there was. "He was finding people, and people knocked down shots for him." ESPN.com

"He's a Hall of Fame guard, people. He's been around, he's done great things in his career," Hollins said. "He just controlled the pace and got in the paint, found open guys. ... We battled him, though, and we wound up being in the game." ESPN.com

Tony Parker once again sliced and diced the Grizzlies in Game 2, and was the biggest reason they had such a massive lead to be able to survive the Grizzlies charge. The Grizzlies were intent on two things going into Game 2: limiting the Spurs' effectiveness in the pick and roll and forcing them to slow down. Parker made both of those efforts fruitless for the first 36 minutes of the game. He found cutters, he found shooters, he drove and kicked relentlessly on his way to 18 assists. It was surgical. "He was unbeliveable," Manu Ginobili said. "He started very well. It was a game where he wasn't partciularly good with his shot. He always found somebody. He was very explosive. He kind of ran out of juice a little bit at the end. But he was the Tony Parker that we need and know. He's always threat for the opponents." CBSSports.com

But if they can't do a better earlier on Parker, it won't matter. And the Grizzlies weren't biting when it comes to whether they made an impact on him. "I can't say nothing bad that they did, they're up 2-0," Tony Allen said. "In that first half, he was just unbeliveable," Conley said. CBSSports.com

The Bexar County Sheriff's office is investigating death threats made against Tony Parker. Sunday night, someone called 911 with about five minutes left in the game and made a threat against Tony Parker. The information was passed on to the sheriff's office, who handles security at the AT&T Center. Security was increased immediately, but it was determined there was no immediate danger. Parker was escorted to his home by deputies, just to be safe. KSAT.com

This is a true story about Randolph, though, one that starred Tiago Splitter, Tim Duncan, Matt Bonner and even Boris Diaw as the resident bullies, and it has the Grizzlies forward gritting and grinding his teeth after an ominous sign in the opener. "That was the best defense I've seen on the big fella in a long time; they did a great job," said the Grizzlies' Mike Conley, who was outplayed in his point guard battle with the Spurs' Tony Parker. "He tried to apologize (in the locker room), and we wouldn't accept that. We said, 'It's not you; it's all of us.' He's just saying that he's going to do better, but we've all got to do better defensively, and offensively we've got to move the ball in order to get other guys open like Zach and play our game." Parker, who had eight of his 20 points in the first quarter in which San Antonio led by 17 points, said, "Yeah, we tried to make it hard on him (with a) double-team. Obviously, he's their best scorer. He's a beast inside. (But) we know he's not going to play like that every game." USA Today Sports

Like Duncan on Monday, Parker toed the company line on a late possession where Golden State kept the ball even after it deflected off Golden State center Andrew Bogut. (For those of you who don’t read Mike Monroe’s dispatch on our new pay site, Express-News.com, an NBA spokesman acknowledged the missed call yesterday but said the play was not reviewable by rule.) Said Parker: “It’s OK. Stuff’s going to happen. I know the referees try to do the best job they can to make the right call. We didn’t lose the game right there.” San Antonio Express-News

“We’ll see how I feel tonight,” Parker said. “I was doing treatment. I came early and did some treatment. That’s all I can do, is do treatment. Especially in the fourth quarter, I missed some easy (shots). It was short a little bit. Didn’t have the same lift. But nobody cares. We lost the game, and now we have to focus on Game 5. That’s all we have to care about.” San Antonio Express-News

Parker made only 6 of 17 shots and had only three assists in a 97-87 overtime loss that tied the best-of-7 series at two games apiece. Afterwards, he acknowledged that the sore calf affected his play. “I felt like I was limited a little bit, but nobody cares,” he said. “It's the playoffs. You have to keep playing. “I just didn't have my normal lift for my jump shots and penetrate. Hopefully I'll keep doing my normal treatments and I'll feel better.” San Antonio Express-News

Parker, whose Spurs seized a 2-1 series lead in Game 3 on Friday night at Oracle Arena, told reporters after practice in San Francisco that he expects to play despite suffering a bruised left calf late in Game 3 when Warriors center Andrew Bogut inadvertently kicked him. He hobbled slowly out of the arena late Friday but on Saturday said he will play. "I just can't see myself not playing," Parker told reporters. "I'll definitely play." USA Today Sports

Warriors star Stephen Curry and Spurs counterpart Tony Parker both suffered lower leg injuries Friday in Game 3, putting their availability for Sunday’s matchup in question. San Antonio Express-News

Parker said his left calf was “pretty bad” after being kicked at some point in the second half. He scored 32 points in the game, nearly outscoring Curry (16) and Klay Thompson (17) by himself as the Spurs won 102-92 to take a 2-1 lead. “I don’t know right now,” he said of his status for Game 3. “We’ll see. I’ll do treatment all night long. Right now it’s a good one. It’s pretty big. “So we’ll see how I feel tomorrow. Have no choice. Got to play on Sunday. It’s a quick turnaround. Try to do my best to do treatment and be ready by (2:30 p.m. Central).” San Antonio Express-News

While Manu Ginobili continued to struggle, Tim Duncan had 23 points and 10 rebounds and Tony Parker had 32 points on 13 of 23 shooting. The Spurs, who had trailed big in the first two games of the series, controlled the game throughout and finally slowed a Warriors offense that had scored 100-plus points in six of its last seven playoff games. Golden State shot just 39.3% from the field, and the dynamic backcourt of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were held to a combined 12-for-37 from the field. "They outplayed us, they out-worked us and they were the aggressor," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. USA Today Sports

Parker triggered the Spurs' Game 1 comeback, but only after Klay Thompson fouled out late. This time, he attacked from the start, scoring eight points in the first 41/2 minutes. "It wasn't our offense, it was our defense," Warriors guard Klay Thompson said. "Personally, I didn't do my job against Tony Parker." Contra Costa Times
