Despite shipping Bryn Forbes off to Denver, the Spurs finally had a full healthy roster last Wednesday for the first time in weeks. And they played a solid game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The victory brings head coach Gregg Popovich one win closer to the top of the all-time regular season wins list.
Pop (and the Spurs) needs nine more wins to pass Don Nelson, and only six to pass Lenny Wilkins for the second spot. But second place is not the goal here.
As they pulled off the win on Dolly Parton’s 76th birthday, it seems appropriate to add her hit “9 to 5” into the mix.
