Spurs overcome Harden's triple-double

Tony Parker showed why he is so valuable to the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night.

Kawhi Leonard led the Spurs with 20 points in their 106-100 victory over Houston, but Parker's court presence proved to be the biggest difference between this victory and Wednesday's night's 101-99 home loss to the Rockets without him.

"He's a great point guard, very smart, knows where guys' spots are on the floor, and he's been here before," Leonard said. "He knows what (Gregg Popovich) expects, and if one of us gets out of line or if we're doing well, he tells us. He just makes us better."
