Tim Duncan became only the third NBA player to reach 1,000 regular season victories when his San Antonio Spurs beat the Utah Jazz 88-86 on Tuesday.The 39-year-old, who has only ever represented the Spurs since being drafted by the franchise with the first pick in 1997, joins Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1,074 wins) and Robert Parish (1,014) in reaching the milestone.He is the only one of the trio to have secured all of his wins with one team, and also has 157 play-off victories which are counted separately by the NBA.Duncan played nearly 24 minutes in the narrow victory, scoring three points and adding two rebounds, two assists and two blocks.But he was almost made to wait a couple of days as the Jazz came close to stealing victory, Rodney Hood missing a potential game-winning three-pointer on the buzzer.Thats a hell of a lot of wins, Spurs team-mate Patty Mills said.I cant wrap my mind around that at all. Thats pretty incredible. Sacrifice, longevity, loyal, and genuine, I think. I think the word that covers all of that is professionalism.The way he handles and carries himself both on and off the court, I think, is what got him to this point at the moment. Its a hell of an achievement and one that Im very fortunate enough to be able to witness and rub shoulders with [him].Deion Sanders Super Bowl Jersey .

Woke us up a bit.Davis said after his 50-point opener -- only the third 50-point performance in an NBA season opener since 1963-64 -- that he expects to play as many minutes as Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry needs him to play, but he added he was due for a massage.Carrying the load of a lightweight roster may get pretty heavy, but Davis said no one is shedding tears for him. And, now, the wounded Warriors await.After what happened a few nights ago, we know that theyre going to come in hungry for a win, Davis said. Weve just got to come out prepared knowing those guys are going to take some bad shots and make them go in. Weve goot to stay composed and not let that kill our spirit and let the momentum go to them.dddddddddddd.Gentry saw the Pelicans give up 60 first-half points against Denver before settling in and being more physical in the second half. He knows Golden State, for whom he coached as an assistant in 2014-15, will be looking to push the ball.Transition defense is going to be the key, Gentry said. Youve got to keep those guys out of the paint. The drive and kick is what they live on, spotting up at the 3-point line. People have to help on drives, and then they kick the ball and hit 3-point shots.This is the first of a three-game road trip for Golden State. The Warriors -- like the Pelicans -- were embarrassed on the boards in their opener, losing the battle to San Antonio 55-35, including a 21-8 edge on the offensive glass. In six of their nine regular-season losses last year, the Warriors were outrebounded. That was the case in seven of their nine postseason losses last year.Golden State also pushed the pace against San Antonio but committed 16 turnovers, which led to 17 Spurs points.For all their talent in one locker room, the Warriors still need continuity. They are breaking in six new players, including two new starters, Durant and center Zaza Pachulia.People dont value continuity enough, Golden State GM Bob Myers said. Its just so important -- experience together, continuity together. We will get there, but were not there now. People may rear back at that kind of comment, but its OK not to be a finished product in October. ' ' '
