Sixers head coach Doc Rivers has been named NBA Coach of the Month for January.
And I’m sure Sixers fans will greet that news with nothing but respect and admiration.
The Sixers finished the month with an NBA-best 11-3 record, including a sweep of a five-game West Coast trip. They’ve won 21 of their last 26 and sit at 33-17 overall. That’s good for third in the conference, just three games back of the top-seeded Celtics, and fourth overall in the NBA.
This is the second time Rivers has earned this honor with the Sixers.
