Doc’s take
Usually he loosens the tie, but today Doc Rivers untucked his shirt to give his final postgame press conference of the season at the Garden. The Celtics coach had a message for his team after its final game.
“The No. 1 thing that I told them I am most proud of over the whole year is that through all the turmoil and adversity, they never wavered as a team. You never heard any bickering. They stayed together as a unit and that’s unusual in this league or any league.”
“The other thing I told them is that we have to take the step from trying to establish ourselves as individuals to establishing ourselves as a team. We have to think in terms of team from this day forward.”
