Utah Jazz notes: Pop passes Sloan on Wins list, injury curse

After sitting in the No. 3 spot on the NBA’s all-time wins list for seven years, Utah Jazz legend Jerry Sloan has been bumped down a notch by another of the game’s best-ever coaches.

With his team’s crazy double-OT win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday (the final score of which was 154-147. Wow.), San Antonio Spurs headman Gregg Popovich moved ahead of Sloan to become the third winningest coach in the history of the league.
