This three-game road trip for the Spurs has been on of Gregg Popovich's best this season as he greets members of his coaching tree.
Golden State Warriors' Head Coach Steve Kerr and Assistant Coach Mike Brown react in the second quarter during Game 3 of the 2017 NBA Finals at Quicken Loans Arena on Wednesday, June 7, 2017 in Cleveland, OhioSACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gregg Popovich ranks sharing pasta and a bottle of wine with a colleague from the Spurs family high among his joys of life.
It began Thursday in San Francisco with a 130-115 loss to Golden State, coached by Steve Kerr, who helped the Spurs win championships in 1999 and 2003 as an aging player and who was by Popovich's side as an assistant when he guided Team USA to a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. With Brown's success this season, the Sacramento leg of the trip was extra special for Popovich, who could be facing him, Kerr and Williams for the final time as a coach.
Now Brown is in the spotlight after Sacramento ended its 16-year playoff drought, the longest in NBA history and the longest active postseason dry spell among teams in North American professional sports.
