In regard to their loss against Detroit Pistons, coach Doc Rivers told Los Angeles Times that he gathered his coaching staff to tell them to continue to practice to prepare for the next game.
“I told our coaches two days ago we were going to practice today no matter what. We’re not going to do much,” He said and also explained his views of the loss. “Our slippage is off the charts, defensively more than offensively.”
