Clippers prepare for next test following win over Spurs
- Share via
When the game was over Monday night, after they had defeated one of the NBA’s better teams in the San Antonio Spurs, the Clippers were trying not to put too much stock in the victory.
Coach Doc Rivers said it’s all about the next test.
For the Clippers, the next test will be against the New Orleans Pelicans, on Wednesday night at Staples Center.
Then it’s the Denver Nuggets, on Saturday at Staples Center.
And then the next game and the game after that.
Basically, Rivers said, the test for the Clippers is ongoing.
“You just keep having tests all year,” he said. “Then you have more in the playoffs. Tests never stop, for either team. And when you pass a test, that doesn’t mean you have any time to feel good about it.
“You’ve got to go to the next test. That’s what this is all about. It’s a long, grueling test, I guess, the whole season.”
