    Before the season, Tony Parker told his new Hornets teammates, "Don't mess with my playoff streak." He wasn't kidding.

    "I was serious, because it means something," Parker said. "I feel like I'm a winner. I have won a lot in this league. And I think that is why they signed me."

    Parker is doing his best to make sure the Hornets get to the postseason, which would allow the longtime San Antonio Spur to reach the playoffs for the 18th straight season.

    Parker had 24 points and 11 assists to lead a big night from Charlotte's bench, and the Hornets beat the Miami Heat 125-113 on Tuesday night. In so doing, the 36-year-old Frenchman surpassed 19,000 career points and became the seventh international-born player to reach that milestone -- joining Dirk Nowitzki, Hakeem Olajuwon, Dominique Wilkins, Tim Duncan, Patrick Ewing and Pau Gasol.
