text: 1. Scoring 43 vs. Mavericks, 2009: With the Dallas Mavericks leading their first-round playoff series (2-1) against the Spurs in 2009, Parker knew he had to take over. In Game 4, he had 43 points in 41 minutes on 62 percent shooting, putting up a dizzying array of floaters, mid-range jumpers and layups to try and get his team a much-needed win in Dallas. The Spurs ended up losing the game and eventually the series, but that was Parker's career high for points in the playoffs.He is tied with Kawhi Leonard for the Spurs' third-highest postseason scoring performance in franchise history.
