SALT LAKE CITY -- Doc Rivers would like it known he's hopeful he did nothing Monday to offend the good family folks in Utah.The Boston coach was ejected with 1:11 left in a 110-97 loss to the Jazz at EnergySolutions Arena. But he kept it clean.
"I just said, 'Keep officiating the game,''' Rivers said of what he uttered to official Ed Malloy. "That's all I said. I didn't swear. I'm in Utah. I respect that.''
It all started with the Jazz leading 107-94, and Rivers already having sat down his starters for the night. Even though the game was out of reach, Rivers felt a Utah player should have been called for traveling.
"I said, 'Hey Ed, it'd be nice if you just kept officiating the game throughout,''' Rivers said. "And he gave me a tech. And then I said, 'That's the best call you've made all night.'''
