From today’s PER Diem:

Tony Parker 66, Dallas 54.

It’s amazing but true — while he was on the floor, one player accounted for more points than the entire opposing team.

Parker did it last night in San Antonio’s 93-76 win over Dallas. He had 37 points and 12 assists, plus five of his dimes accounted for 3-pointers — a total of 66 points. Meanwhile, in the 37 minutes that Parker played, the Mavericks scored only 54 of their 76 total points.

So Parker not only generated more points than the Mavs … he did so by double digits. It was one of the most amazing performances of the season, made even more incredible by the absence of teammates Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili — Parker was a one-man band and the Mavs still couldn’t stop it. He scored or assisted on all but 13 of San Antonio’s points when he was on the court to lead the Spurs to a shockingly easy win.
