Don Nelson Reaches a Coaching Milestone

Don Nelson has reached a milestone in his coaching career.  With the Warriors 133-120 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder Saturday, Don Nelson has won his 1,300th game as a head coach.  This puts him second to the great Lenny Wilkens who claims 1,332 wins.  In the first quarter Nelson nearly lost his cool with the refs but later calmed down to coach the Warrirs to a victory despit 17 careless turnovers.  The Warriors sloppy play was overlooked becasue of the outstanding numbers they put up on the scoreboard.  The Warriors scored over 120 points in 4 games this month alone.  They were led tonight by Stephen Jackson who had 26 with Maggette right behind him with 25.  The Warriors played without their starting center Andris Biedrins but the rookie Anthony Randolph is showing great potential for the Warriors.  The rookie scored just 4 points while grabbing 4 rebounds but he caused trouble for the Thunder in the paint altering a number of shots which resulted in misses.  His engery on the offensive glass is what the Warriors need for the future.
