This will come as zero consolation after Thursday's loss at San Antonio, but Avery Johnson needs only two victories in his next seven games to record the best 82-game record ever to start an NBA coaching career.
Dallas' Lil' General is 61-14 in the regular season. Paul Westphal went 62-20 in his debut season with the Suns to set the record.
