Doc Rivers passes Red Auerbach on NBA's all-time wins list

Rivers: Any time your name is with Red, you feel very fortunate.

With his 939th career coaching victory, Doc Rivers passed Red Auerbach on the NBA’s all-time wins list.

Rivers moved past the legendary Auerbach into sole possession of 11th place Saturday night when the LA Clippers dismantled the New Orleans Pelicans 126-103 in their second game of the NBA restart.

“I’ve been very fortunate,” Rivers said. “I’ve had unreal players and unreal coaches and great staff and great ownership that has allowed me to coach this long. It’s pretty cool. Any time your name is with Red, you feel very fortunate.”
