From the Boston Globe:
"It was not embarrassing at all," Davis said before last night's game. "It was a lot of passion. Sometimes it's not always good passion, sometimes it's bad, but you have to learn to funnel that emotion. I was mad at myself, I just want to win and we were up. It was lack of intensity that we were bringing on the floor. I was mad at myself because I had a big part of funneling the energy on the team and my teammates hold me accountable for that. We weren't as focused as we should have been. We were up, 25-30 points, there's no way they should be getting back in the game."
Said Rivers:
"It wasn't a big deal, really. It was made big by the way it looked. I didn't mind what KG was saying at all, what he was saying was absolutely right. It just should have been a quicker conversation, but, emotionally, at the time Baby [Davis] wanted to debate it, so he got emotional. The only thing I don't like is, and I told Baby this, that if another player has to spend time calming you down, then you're a distraction at that moment.
"We are an emotional team and I want us to be an emotional team but what I don't want to see is us being a distraction to each other while the game is going on. I'm not going to get into what he was saying, it was delivered in Kevin's way, but it wasn't bad. I heard part of it and he was just being honest. When Kevin talks, it's never a personal attack, it's always what the team and group should be doing. There are days when guys don't want to hear it and that was one of those days. That's all right, message delivered. They still love him - Baby. And there's been a lot of jokes since then in the locker room. After the game, they were all laughing about it. It's an emotional game and it happens, and Glen is very, very emotional."
