Doc Rivers will be aiming for his first win as the head coach of the Bucks when he faces the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.
In his return to the bench, Rivers came up short against Michael Malone and the Nuggets, falling by a final score of 113-107. Despite the loss, Rivers, who left his job as an ESPN analyst to replace Adrian Griffin, felt that the Bucks could build on their performance.
“Our half-court defense was excellent. We fought tonight,” Rivers said. “I thought tonight was an offensive loss. I didn’t think we were crisp offensively. We had stretches where the ball was humming and hopping, and then we had stretches where it didn’t.
“Those stretches, we have to clean up. But overall, I was very happy.”
Milwaukee will now look to bounce back against a Portland team that has lost 11 of its last 16 games.
