San Antonio's huge fourth-quarter rally has helped Gregg Popovich reach the 1,000-win milestone as San Antonio downed the Indiana Pacers 95-93.
Marco Belinelli's baseline jump shot with 2.1 seconds left sealed the win, leaving Popovich as the ninth coach with 1,000 regular-season wins and the third-fastest to achieve the feat.
He also joins former Utah coach Jerry Sloan as the only coaches in NBA history to win 1,000 games with one team.
