Larry Krystkowiak picked a great time to coach his first NBA game. Not only did the Bucks team he took over lose 26 of 33 games since Jan. 1. but Milwaukee had to face the hottest team in the NBA. The San Antonio Spurs had won 13 straight games and limited opponents to 82.4 PPG during that span.
None of that mattered on Thursday. The Bucks shot over 53 percent from the field and defeated the Spurs 101-90. Krystkowiak becomes the first coach in NBA history to have his debut win come against a team with a double-digit win streak.
Debut Is A Snap
Date Coach Foe Games
Mar. 2007 Larry Krystkowiak, Mil Spurs 13
Nov. 1981 Pat Riley, LA Spurs 7
Dec. 2002 Terry Stotts, ATL Spurs 4

Dec. 1966 Gene Shue, BAL Warriors 4
