SAN ANTONIO -- Gregg Popovich is just one win away from becoming the NBA's all-time winningest coach.
Popovich tied Don Nelson's NBA record with his 1,335th career victory as a coach in the San Antonio Spurs' 117-110 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night. And he did so with his typical dry wit in tow.
In fact, during a timeout, Popovich called over to former Spurs center and Basketball Hall of Fame standout David Robinson to suit up and check himself into the game. Robinson was sitting courtside.
The Spurs had lost four straight with Popovich on the precipice of tying the mark.
