Doc Rivers hasn't gotten off to the best start as the Milwaukee Bucks' midseason head coach replacement, but Sunday was a good day.
He and the Bucks traveled to Philly to face the Philadelphia 76ers, the team that fired him at the end of the 2022-23 season, for the first time since he was hired by the Bucks in January. Rivers went in with a painful 4-7 record as Bucks head coach, but emerged with a definitely-less-painful 5-7 after the Bucks stuffed the Sixers, 119-98.
The game didn't look like it would be a blowout from the start.
