Tony Parker: Said Ankle Improved Throughout Game 1

Parker recorded 19 points and eight assists in Thursday's Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Heat. Afterward, he said that his ankle got better and better throughout the game, the Toronto Sun reports.

Analysis:

Parker logged a game-high 37 minutes, as he didn't seem to be bothered by his ankle or the air-conditioning failure. Given that he played a solid game and felt better late in the contest, he should be fine for Sunday's Game 2.
