Daily News | Brilliant: Sixers coach Doc Rivers makes all the right moves to beat Boston without Joel Embiid
“Doc coached great,” said team president Daryl Morey in the hallway afterward. Morey, for a change, understated matters.
“I was really happy for Paul,” Rivers said. “A couple of guys really got into him. It was close to excessive. I kept him in. I said, ‘Go win the game. Go do something for us.’”James Harden emerges from the grave to give Sixers wild Game 1 win. Now, all they need is Joel Embiid. “We put Georges on the floor, took Paul out, went all smalls, which was scary,” Rivers admitted. “They miss a free throw. .... We just took that gamble. I don’t know if that would have gone well there.”
