Clippers coach Doc Rivers on Sunday ahead of Game 4 was asked about the dribble penetration that played a big part in the Spurs’ 100-73 Game 3 victory over the Clippers on Friday at AT&T Center in San Antonio. He pulled no punches.

“Dribble penetration kills everything,” he said. “I mean, it really does. It creates offensive rebounds, it creates points in the paint, it creates 3s, it creates foul trouble. If you are allowing it a lot, you’re going to lose unless you are just having an unbelievable offensive night or they are just having a bad night of missing open shots.

“I thought overall their dribble penetration … Kawhi (Leonard) was great, but all of them were beating us off the dribble and when you watch the film, it’s pretty disgusting to watch.”
