Italy鈥檚 Messina coaches Spurs past Pacers
Print Edition
ASSISTANT coach Ettore Messina guided San Antonio over the Indiana Pacers 106-100 on Wednesday, becoming the first Italian to coach an NBA game while replacing Spurs coach Gregg Popovich.
Popovich, the NBA’s longest-tenured coach, missed the game with what the team called a minor medical procedure. The coach who guided the Spurs to last season’s NBA title will miss an undisclosed period of time.
“He will be back soon,” said Messina, a two-time Euroleague Coach of the Year.
French guard Tony Parker and forward Kawhi Leonard each scored 21 points for San Antonio while Leonard also contributed 13 rebounds for the Spurs, who improved to 10-4.
Rodney Stuckey scored 22 points to lead Indiana (6-9), which also had 13 points from Luis Scola and 12 from reserve Chris Copeland.
Also, it was: Nets 99, 76ers 91; Warriors 111, Magic 96; Trail Blazers 105, Hornets 97; Cavaliers 113, Wizards 87; Mavericks 109, Knicks 102, OT; Raptors 126, Hawks 115; Clippers 104, Pistons 98; Thunder 97, Jazz 82; Rockets 102, Kings 89; Bucks 103, Timberwolves 86; Suns 120, Nuggets 112; and Grizzlies 99, Lakers 93.
