Golden State coach Steve Kerr notched his 600th regular-season victory on Monday night, reaching the milestone in just 943 games. Kerr became the fourth-fastest coach ever to achieve the feat, joining legends like Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich. The Warriors snapped a five-game losing streak with a 125-117 triumph over Washington, though Kerr admitted the game wasn't 'great basketball.' Kerr reached 600 wins while playing a pivotal role in the Warriors' success, having also won 601 games as a player, tying Don Nelson for the unique distinction of 600 wins in both roles. Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler remain sidelined with injuries, leaving the Warriors mired in a tight race for play-in positioning in the Western Conference.

The team welcomed back Draymond Green and Kristaps Porzingis after resting them in New York, with Porzingis leading the scoring with 30 points, tying his season high. 'We're also on the Kristaps Porzingis reunion tour,' Kerr noted, acknowledging the motivation of facing former teams. The Warriors next face the Celtics on Wednesday.
