George Karl continues personal tradition of excellence
When the Denver Nuggets won their 42nd game of 2012-13, it marked coach George Karl's 21st straight season with a .500 record or better, tying Phil Jackson for the longest such streak in NBA history.
Karl enjoyed 10 consecutive winning seasons from 1991-2001 before going 41-41 with the Milwaukee Bucks. He has since strung together 10 more winning seasons, including nine with the Nuggets.
In the process, Karl won his 400th career game as Denver's coach on Feb. 19. He is now within reach of Doug Moe (432) for the most victories in franchise history.
