Tony Parker and the San Antonio Spurs have their sights set on catching the Phoenix Suns for the Western Conference's No. 2 seed in the playoffs.

And Parker's doing all he can to make it happen.

Parker scored a season-high 35 points to lead the Spurs past the Suns 92-85 on Thursday night and bring them within two games of Phoenix for second place in the West.

"Unbelievable. He was great,'' said Tim Duncan, who had 22 points and 10 rebounds. "He had a great pace to his game all night. We really needed that push and he really gave it to us.''

Great win for the Spurs last night. They shut down the Suns transition game and the defense was tight all night long except for the last minute of the game. Awesome games from Parker, Duncan, and another very solid performance by Finley…playoff ready.
