WASHINGTON — Steve Kerr finally could celebrate win No. 600.<\/p>\n
The Golden State<\/a> coach is one of the fastest to reach the milestone, but after he made it to 599 the Warriors lost five in a row. They snapped that skid with a 125-117 win<\/a> over Washington<\/a> on Monday night.<\/p>\n “Not a great basketball game,” Kerr said. “But we needed the win and were good enough to get the win.”<\/p>\n Kerr reached 600 in his 943rd regular-season game. Only three coaches have needed fewer. Phil Jackson did it in 805 games, Pat Riley in 832 and Gregg Popovich in 887.<\/p>\n “It’s surreal to hear my name in that group, but I can tell you that one thing that bonds us all together — those names and mine — is talent,” Kerr said. “You can’t win in this league without great players, and I was blessed from the day I took this job with incredible talent.”<\/p>\n Kerr also had 601 career wins as a player. He became the second person in NBA history to win 600 games as a player and as a coach, joining Don Nelson.<\/p>\n WithStephen Curry<\/a> and Jimmy Butler III<\/a>out with injuries, the Warriors are mired in a race for positioning in the play-in round in the Western Conference. They did have Draymond Green<\/a> and Kristaps Porzingis<\/a> back Monday after resting them in Sunday’s loss at New York.<\/p>\n Porzingis scored a game-high 30 points, tying his season high.<\/p>\n “He’s quite a talent,” Kerr said. “We’re also on the Kristaps Porzingis reunion tour. It’s kind of crazy. We’re playing every one of his former teams. The Knicks, Washington, Atlanta, Boston, Dallas — all five of his teams, we’re seeing on this trip. Players usually get up for playing against their old teams.”<\/p>\n Up next for the Warriors is a matchup with the Celtics on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n Information from ESPN Research and The Associated Press was used in this report.br\/]<\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2026 ESPN Internet Ventures.
