Stephon Castle Opens Up On 60 Wins
Getting to 60 was a goal–but that doesn’t define success for this year’s Spurs. Stephon Castle reacted to the milestone on Monday night.
via Tom Orsborn, San Antonio-Express News: Castle on Spurs getting 60 wins: âIt was definitely a goal of ours, especially late in the season. So to be able to accomplish that before the end of the regular season is definitely a big deal, but I think we got our eyes set on bigger goals right now.â

Entering Monday’s action against the 76ers, the Spurs were holding a 59-19 record. They placed second in the Western Conference, trailing only the NBA Champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder.
With a 115-102 win over the Sixers, the Spurs became just the second team this season to collect their 60th win. They are now 2.5 games behind the Thunder in the Western Conference standings.
