Yeah, Mr. Kurt Helin must have been reading the Box Score and Play-by-Play instead of witnessing it first hand.

Big Game From Spurs Backcourt
From Elias: Tony Parker had 24 points and 10 assists and Manu Ginobili had 25 points and nine assists for the Spurs on Monday. Over the last 15 years there has been only one other non-overtime game in which a team's starting backcourt each had at least 24 points and nine assists. Robert Pack and Michael Finley did it for the Mavericks against the Suns in 1999.
