Another record for Avery Johnson

Avery Johnson became the fastest coach in NBA history to reach 150 wins with tonight's win over Memphis. He needed just 191 games, shattering Phil Jackson’s old record of 203. Mavs assistant Paul Westphal, incidentally, sits third on the list at 204.

Such records are becoming old hat for the General. Johnson was also the fastest to 50 and 100 wins, and holds the record for best 82-game start. The Mavs have also won at least 60 in each of his two full seasons.

Fewest number of games to reach 150 wins in NBA history:
Avery Johnson, 191 (150-41)
Phil Jackson, 203 (150-53)
Paul Westphal, 204 (150-54)
Johnny Kundla, 212 (150-62)
Les Harrison, 216 (150-66)
Pat Riley, 217 (150-67)
Rick Adelman, 222 (150-72)
Brian Hill, 222 (150-72)
Bill Russell, 222 (150-72)
