Mike Dunleavy will always remember his 600th regular-season victory because of the way his team earned it for him.
Eric Gordon scored 29 points and the Los Angeles Clippers rallied from a 20-point deficit to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 98-88 on Sunday.
``I'm very proud of the guys,'' Dunleavy said. ``Our guys stayed with it and never gave up. All of a sudden, we came together and Eric Gordon got into that attack mode. We did the things we needed to do.''

Dunleavy is the 21st coach in NBA history with 600 wins. He guided the Lakers to the NBA finals in 1991, and was named coach of the year in 1999 after his Portland Trail Blazers won a division title with a 35-15 record during the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season. His overall record is 600-698, including 202-308 with the Clippers.
``If you're in this long enough, you just keep trying to win and they all add up,'' said Dunleavy, who has been an NBA head coach for 17 seasons - seven with the Clippers - and has been in his current job longer than anyone except Utah's Jerry Sloan and San Antonio's Gregg Popovich. ``It's always great to get them all, but I would rather have us healthy now. I hope there are more wins in there for me.''
