SAN ANTONIO – It all started with a bucket and a foul for Austin Rivers.
Then came another basket, and another, as Rivers’ seven straight points early in the second quarter gave the Clippers the lead and were part of a series-high 16 points for the backup guard Sunday, who’s playing in the NBA playoffs for the first time in his career.
“I've been working so hard and this team has been working so hard,” Rivers said. “We expect this. I’m just going to keep attacking downhill and looking to make plays for my teammates and myself.
