In the 126-103 overwhelming victory of the Los Angeles Clippers over the New Orleans Pelicans in their second game since the NBA restart on Saturday, Coach Doc Rivers surpassed legendary coach Red Auerbach on NBA's all-time win list.

According to NBA.com, in his 939th win as a coach, Glenn Anton "Doc" Rivers moved up the rankings to 11th most wins of all time as a coach. He needs to win only six more games to move up to the top 10 and surpass Bill Fitch, who has 944.

He is the architect of arguably the greatest basketball team of all time, the 1960's Boston Celtics.

The Celtics is the best team in the history of the NBA with 17 championships and 9 of them were under Auerbach. Rivers is the last coach to give the Celtics the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
