The Spurs defeated the New York Knicks 94-84 at Madison Square Garden for their third win of the 2015-16 season.
Reaching milestones and setting records is what "The Big Fundamental" does best these days. Duncan, 39, scored the 26,000th point of his career Sunday afternoon in a win over the Boston Celtics. The win also made Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili the winningest trio in NBA history.
With his 954th win in a Spurs uniform, Duncan breaks the tie he had with legendary Utah Jazz point guard John Stockton.
Most wins in @NBAHistory with one team:
1. Tim Duncan (Spurs) - 954
2. John Stockton (Jazz) - 953
3. Karl Malone (Jazz) - 919
