Getty Gregg Popovich and his family are mourning the loss of his wife, Erin Popovich.
The San Antonio Spurs had not lost three consecutive games all season. Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder threatened to start that streak. San Antonio surrendered a 15-point lead and lost 123-108, a result that left the series at 2-1 in Oklahoma City’s favor and prompted an unusual response from one of the most iconic figures in franchise history.
Gregg Popovich walked into the locker room.
It was the first time he had done so all season.
