Celebrating a Coaching Milestone
Prior to tip-off, the Spurs recognised their legendary coach Gregg Popovich by unveiling a banner to mark his 1,390 regular season victories. This commemorative gesture was carried out per Popovich’s request for a low-profile acknowledgement, without a formal ceremony.
Key Moments in the Fourth Quarter
Brooklyn briefly gained the upper hand in the early stages of the fourth quarter when Jalen Wilson hit a three-pointer, nudging the visitors ahead 90-89. However, the Spurs responded emphatically with a decisive 10-0 run to regain control and clinch the triumph at home.
