SAN ANTONIO -- In the process of running down 50 victories for the 18th consecutive season, the San Antonio Spurs first needed to fight through a 28-point deficit Wednesday to best the Sacramento Kings.
The comeback in the 114-104 win was the largest of coach Gregg Popovich's tenure in San Antonio, not to mention the most significant rally of this NBA season. Just two days prior, the Spurs overcame a 16-point deficit to defeat the Houston Rockets.
It also extended the NBA record for consecutive 50-win seasons to six more than the previous mark of the Showtime-era Los Angeles Lakers' 12.
