Doc Rivers and Wally Szczerbiak got into a shouting match while they were walking to the locker room at halftime on Wednesday night. Defensive assignments were the point of contention.
"It was rectified," said Rivers. "It was no big deal, though. It was good. It was great because we could show them at halftime and they saw the mistakes."
Said Szczerbiak: "I love Doc. Strong-willed individuals are going to get into it once in a while. I know when to bury the hatchet and I think he does to. We're just going to move on. We figured it out in here at halftime. We ironed out the problem. It was just competitive guys going at it. It got me going a little bit."

Danny Ainge wasn't in attendance when Boston fans began a "Fire Doc" chant during the Celtics' loss to the Knicks, but he said on Saturday that it will not change his opinion of the coach.
When asked about displeasure of the fans, Ainge said, "I think that's sad. I think that's completely unfair. I don't know what else to say. We did not respond in the right way [against the Knicks]. We let our emotions get the best of us. And that's not Doc's fault."
