INDIANAPOLIS -- Tony Parker says hes been working on his shot, and it looks as if its paying off. Parker had 33 points and 10 assists, and the San Antonio Spurs erased a 17-point deficit on their way to a 104-97 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Friday night. Tim Duncan had 22 points for San Antonio (10-3), which closed the game with a 17-2 run. Manu Ginobili scored 19. David West scored 22 for the Pacers (6-8), and Paul George finished with 15. George Hill collected 11 points and Roy Hibbert had 10. Parker made his first eight shots and scored 16 in the first quarter. He put together a 15-for-23 night from the field and made three of his four foul shots. Parker said coach Gregg Popovich "wanted me to be more aggressive, take more shots, and so Ive been working with Chip (assistant coach Engelland), and the last two games, its been working well for me." West scored seven points and Lance Stephenson had four as the Pacers went on a 13-1 run to build a 70-53 lead with 6:35 to play in the third. But Ginobili and the Spurs responded with an impressive rally. The 35-year-old Ginobili was seemingly everywhere, driving the lane, taking shots from beyond the arc and finding his teammates for open baskets. He scored seven points and Parker added six as the Spurs closed the period with a 20-7 run. "No panic," Parker said. "Obviously, Indiana was making a run the third quarter. They were making great shots and playing great defence, and we just didnt panic. We just keep playing. "In the third quarter, we cut it to four, so that was huge for us. And then, in the fourth quarter, we started making stops, and we made the shots that we needed." Indiana grabbed a 95-90 lead on Hills jumper from the free-throw line with 5:30 to play. But the Pacers missed their last 11 shots, managing just two free throws by West down the stretch. "I think we competed our tails off, but give credit to San Antonio," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "They executed better than we did down the stretch and got the W. "Our guys are playing good offensive basketball and executing pretty well. Thats the game of basketball for you, though. Sometimes, the ball doesnt go in the basket. Gary Neal fueled San Antonios final surge with two free throws and a basket. Parker hit a jumper from the free-throw line and Duncan followed with a jumper from the top of the key and a layup after a scramble for a loose ball. Parker sank two free throws for a 103-95 lead with 1:33 to play. West made two free throws with 55 seconds left, but Parker hit a foul shot with 25 seconds to go. "He got us going the whole game," Popovich said of Parker. "He had double-digit assists, 33 points. He was phenomenal. He played great D." George said Parker is tough to stop when he gets going. "Its hard to be able to get gaps and slow him down, because theyve got a lot of shooters spotting up," he said. "Its kind of pick your poison." "We couldnt put the ball in the basket at the end. It just got real difficult, for some reason. We got great looks. Sometimes, it goes like that."

The CFL fined the Montreal Alouettes linebacker Wednesday for punching an opponent in the groin. It marks the third time this season Emry has been slapped with a financial penalty from the league. Emry was fined for punching Saskatchewan offensive lineman Brendon LaBatte in the first half of Montreals 34-28 road win over the Roughriders last weekend. The league also fined Alouettes defensive end John Bowman for publicly criticizing an opponent. The exact amounts of the fines werent disclosed as per league policy. Under terms of the leagues collective bargaining agreement with the CFL Players Association, the most a player can be fined is half his game cheque. The fine was issued after Emry spoke with CFL commissioner Mark Cohon on Wednesday. Since Emry is a repeat offender, there were suggestions he could have been suspended this time around. If the league had gone that route, Emry would have been able to appeal and be allowed to continue playing until a hearing was held. Emry cant appeal the fine. Both he and Bowman will be eligible to play Sunday against the Edmonton Eskimos. As the Riders were setting up for the convert following Weston Dresslers 66-yard punt return for a TD on Saturday, Emry brushed kicker Sandro DeAngelis before hitting Labatte. The incident, caught by television cameras, resulted in Emry receiving a rough play penalty and disqualification late in the first half. Emry later apologized to fans of both teams as well as Cohon on his Twitter account. He also said he had personally apologized to LaBatte. "Thats not the person I am off the field noor is it an (example) I want to set for youth that are watching me on the field," Emry tweeted.dddddddddddd "It was a mindless act that isnt admirable." LaBatte reacted to the leagues decision on his Twitter account. "Hoping I get a portion of (at)sheaemry41 s fine since I took a shot in the pills and now have to have that bone headed play linked to me .shaepays," he tweeted. Bowman, though, seemed to take a rather light-hearted approach to being fined. "Cant afford 2 rent a movie lol," he tweeted. ".AppleTv .unlocked. Catching up on my .DEXTER and .Homeland 2 nite." After the game, Bowman accused Saskatchewan centre Dominic Picard of trying to break Emrys leg. Bowman also called the veteran offensive lineman the CFLs dirtiest player, which isnt the first time Bowman made such a statement about Picard. On Tuesday, Picard, a native of Ste-Foy, Que., claimed Bowman called him a "frog." When reporters asked Bowman on Wednesday about Picards comment, he emphatically denied using the term. Emry was reportedly fined $1,000 for an illegal hit on Calgary Stampeders quarterback Drew Tate on July 1. He was fined a second time for an illegal block on special teams July 27 against the Toronto Argonauts. The fines tarnish what has been a solid season for the 26-year-old native of Richmond, B.C., who was taken in the first round, seventh overall, by Montreal in the 2008 CFL draft out of the University of British Columbia. The six-foot, 220-pound Emry is tied with Chip Cox for the team lead in tackles with 78 and is Montreals leading candidate for the CFLs top Canadian award. ' ' '
