V\u00e1squez)<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Steve Kerr could finally celebrate win No. 600.<\/p>\n<p>The Golden State 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 href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/warriors-wizards-score-c191386c3da4f9e8c3c9297c12a529f2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a 125-117 win<\/a> over Washington on Monday night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot a great basketball game,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cBut we needed the win and were good enough to get the win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kerr reached 600 in his 943rd regular-season game. Only three coaches have needed fewer, according to information from the Elias Sports Bureau distributed by the Warriors. Phil Jackson did it in 805 games, Pat Riley in 832 and Gregg Popovich in 887.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s surreal to hear my name in that group, but I can tell you that one thing that bonds us all together \u2014 those names and mine \u2014 is talent,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cYou can\u2019t win in this league without great players, and I was blessed from the day I took this job with incredible talent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There hasn\u2019t been as much of it in Golden State\u2019s recent lineups. Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler are out with injuries, and the Warriors are mired in a race for positioning in the play-in round in the Western Conference. They did have Draymond Green and Kristaps Porzingis back after resting them in Sunday\u2019s loss at New York.<\/p>\n<p>Porzingis scored a game-high 30 points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s quite a talent,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cWe\u2019re also on the Kristaps Porzingis reunion tour. It\u2019s kind of crazy. We\u2019re playing every one of his former teams. The Knicks, Washington, Atlanta, Boston, Dallas \u2014 all five of his teams, we\u2019re seeing on this trip. Players usually get up for playing against their old teams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Up next for the Warriors is a matchup with the Celtics on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP NBA: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/nba\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/NBA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Copyright<br \/>\n                        \u00a9\u00a02026 The Associated Press.
