Pop is nineteen wins from the top

Perhaps the Spurs are beginning to turn a corner this season. An impressive win against the Portland Trail Blazers (sans Damian Lillard) also puts the Spurs one win over Rip City all time which means the Spurs have a lifetime winning record against every team in the NBA.
