Gregg Popovich getting ejected Wednesday night paved the way for Becky Hammon to make history.

The Spurs head coach was tossed from San Antonio's game against the Los Angeles Lakers in the second quarter, meaning Hammon stepped in for the remainder of the game.

Even though it was for a brief moment, Hammon -- a WNBA legend -- still made history as the first woman to serve as an NBA head coach for a regular season game.

Pretty awesome.

Even though the Spurs lost, it still was an incredible moment in sports.
