SAN ANTONIO – France's Tony Parker had 38 points and eight assists as the San Antonio Spurs beat Dallas 105-84 in game two of their first-round National Basketball Association playoff series.

"I was just trying to be aggressive," Parker said.

Dallas was trying to send the Spurs to consecutive home playoff losses for the first time since 2002, but couldn't contain San Antonio's speedy point guard. Parker had 27 points in the first half.

Jason Terry finished with 16 points for Dallas, which suffered one of the worst losses in the heated playoff rivalry.

Game three is Thursday in Dallas.
