1) Manu Ginobili got his 100th win in the playoffs. He is now 19th on the list of players with most wins in the playoffs. Manu also has the highest winning percentage in the playoffs for active players.

2) Tim Duncan over the course of the NBA Finals leaped over Shaquille O'Neal to occupy the 6th position in the above list with 131 wins. He is 4 wins behind Kobe Bryant for the 5th position and 24 wins behind Robert Horry in first position. He is 3rd on the list of active players with most playoff wins. He also has the third highest winning percentage in the playoffs for active players behind Manu & Lebron James.

3) The Spurs, if they win two more games (to win the title), will equal the New York Knicks (who have a headstart of 31 years in the league over the Spurs) for the most wins in the playoffs. They will continue to retain the third best winning percentage in the playoffs for all NBA franchies in the postseason.

4) Meanwhile Coach Pop overtook Jerry Sloan's 3rd place record of coaching 202 playoff games - over this postseason. Coach Pop has now coached 212 post season games so far and has the 3rd best record behind Phil Jackson and Billy Cunningham for those who have coached atleast a 100 games in the playoffs.

5) Tim Duncan has now got the most blocks for any player in the postseason (since the statistic got recorded).

6) Tim Duncan (2476 rebounds) is now only 5 rebounds behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (4th) and 32 rebounds behind Shaq (3rd) on the all time most rebounds in the playoffs list. Russell (1st - 4104) and Chamberlain (2nd -3913) are way ahead though and are insurmountable.
