Nate McMillan’s 500th win in the NBA was as unexpected as a milestone win can be. The Indiana Pacers trailed by 22-points before coming back to beat the Sacramento Kings.
With the win, McMillan became the 29th coach in NBA history to reach that milestone, posting a 500-471 record along the way. He has the fourth-most wins among active coaches, behind Gregg Popovich (1,615), Doc Rivers (1,349), and Rick Carlisle (1,173), and ahead of Mike D’Antoni (426).
The path here for McMillan stalled out four seasons ago when he was fired by the Portland Trail Blazers.
