QUOTABLE

Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers after their loss to the Houston Rockets: "It was more than an effort game, though. I think, since I'm from Marquette, it was one of Rick Majerus' famous lines: 'Play hard and smart, playing hard is not enough, and I thought they played hard and smart tonight. They picked the right guys to pick on offensively, the traps, defensively, were phenomenal, trying to frustrate [Kevin] Durant as much as you can."
