Clippers coach Doc Rivers stated that he did not think much about Rockets’ use of lineups without a traditional center which has filled talk around the NBA.

“I haven’t given it much thought, to be honest. I think they’re doing what they need to do to win games. I think it’s a smart, smart move by them," Rivers said on Houston Chronicle.

“We just play. We actually talk about the reverse. When you start looking for matchups, you mess up your offence.

"Just let the ball find whoever. It’ll find the right guy. It always does. I just don’t ever like getting stuck. Looking for matchups, the ball gets stuck.”
