Parker-to-Jefferson alley oop becoming lethal Spurs weapon

"Back in the day, the Spurs' low-post offensive attack was about as exciting as a long string of late-night infomercials.

Tim Duncan's bank shots and textbook cutting and passing was fun for the purists. But it didn't turn up very often on NBA.com's collection of big plays for the week.

Tony Parker and Richard Jefferson are trying to change that tedium - one alley-oop basket at a time.

The Spurs' point guard and athletic small forward have developed a unique relationship that has added some dash to the team's emerging offensive game. It worked again Saturday night in the Spurs' crushing 101-74 victory over Oklahoma City as Parker picked up his second double-double in points and assists in his last four games.

But if you ask Parker, he would prefer that the play remains under the radar except for the most diligent scouting jobs by opponents."
