Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers on getting back Myles Turner, Kyle Kuzma and others for their last game: "It was great, great to have them. Don't know if we'll have them tomorrow, but great to have them tonight. Home games, things like that, trying to take care of our home crowd, think it'd be smart."
