When the season kicked off, San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich needed just twenty-six wins to surpass both Lenny Wilkins (1,332 wins) and Don Nelson (1,335 wins) as the NBA coach with the most regular seasons wins of all time.
A week ago, when the Spurs were 4-8, it looked like a photo finish to the season would leave the Spurs with Pop barely eking a 27 win season.
In the last week, the Spurs have dropped another 3 leaving a 4-11, or 26.7% record. At this pace, Pop and the Spurs would win 21 or 22 total, leaving Pop just shy of both Nelson and Wilkins.
