INDIANAPOLIS — The San Antonio Spurs' huge fourth-quarter rally helped Gregg Popovich reach the 1,000-win milestone.

Marco Belinelli's baseline jumper with 2.1 seconds left capped San Antonio's 95-93 victory at Indiana.

Popovich became the ninth coach with 1,000 regular-season wins and became the third-fastest to achieve the feat. He also joined former Utah coach Jerry Sloan as the only coaches in league history to win 1,000 games with one team. Only Phil Jackson and Pat Riley reached 1,000 wins faster than Popovich, who is 1,000-462 in 19 NBA seasons, all with San Antonio.
