Dallas tried to make it interesting after the break, pulling to within 77-63 on a Harris layup midway through the third, but Kawhi Leonard - who also had 15 points - buried a 3-pointer and Parker scored consecutive baskets to push the lead back over 20. The advantage ballooned to 30 for the first time on Parker's free throw with 8:04 remaining in the game and the benches were emptied soon thereafter as San Antonio improved to 4-2 all-time in playoff series versus the Marvericks.
