SAN ANTONIO -- San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich tied the NBA record for the most career wins with one franchise on Thursday night, capturing his 1,127th in a 102-86 triumph over the Philadelphia 76ers.
"When you get all those wins, it's just a longevity thing more than anything," Popovich said. "So I'm thankful for having the job for a while."
Popovich tied the record set by Jerry Sloan of the Utah Jazz, thanks in part to the Spurs forcing a season-high 24 turnovers while Kawhi Leonard led the way with 19 points, two steals and two blocks.
