Pau Gasol joins the exclusive 47 and 4 NBA players
Spanish veteran Pau Gasol scored his 20,000th career point with 13 as the San Antonio Spurs (61-21) went down 101-97 at the Utah Jazz.
While Gasol is the 47th player in NBA history to reach to the 20,000-point milestone, he is just the fourth with that many points, 10,000 rebounds, 3,500 assists and 1,500 blocks after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan.
The Jazz (51-31) – seeded fifth – will feature in the playoffs for the first time since 2012.
San Antonio and the Memphis Grizzlies will lock horns in the west.
