MEMPHIS, May 28 (UPI) -- Tony Parker went 15-of-21 from the field en route to 37 points Monday and San Antonio defeated Memphis 93-86 to sweep the Western Conference finals.
Parker scored nine of his points in the first quarter as the Spurs jumped off to a 24-14 lead and never were headed en route to the win, which completed a 4-0 series sweep.
The Spurs point guard also dished off six assists while Tim Duncan contributed 15 points, eight rebounds and four blocks for San Antonio, which shot 51.3 percent from field in taking its first conference championship since 2007.
