Game Blog: Spurs 107 Thunder 96

SAN ANTONIO (AP) – Tony Parker wasn't playing for an All-Star invitation. He made a strong case just the same.

Putting together his most dazzling game in three years — and doing it against the NBA's hottest team, no less — Parker scored 42 points and became the all-time franchise assists leader for the San Antonio Spurs in a 107-96 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night.

His nine assists moved him past Avery Johnson in Spurs history, but this night wasn't about his passing. Parker joined Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Anthony Morrow and LeBron James as the only NBA players to eclipse 40 points in a game this season.
