SAN ANTONIO (AP) – Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said his team’s goal the remainder of the season is simple – just win.
Tony Parker playing well makes that a lot easier.
Parker had a season-high 32 points and just one turnover in leading San Antonio Spurs to their fifth straight victory, 116-105 over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday.
“Tony is playing at a high level again, that makes a big difference for them,” Chicago center Pau Gasol said. “It’s tough to beat them that way.”
Parker is returning to his All-Star form after being hindered much of the season by a strained hamstring that forced him to miss 13 games. He is again driving hard to the lane for his usual array of spins, layups, floaters and quick passes to teammates for corner 3-pointers.
