Since taking the head coach job of the Los Angeles Clippers, Doc Rivers has been preaching defense, not flash. However, in the 126-115 win over the Golden State Warriors, led by Chris Paul and his 42 points, what most people will remember are the alley oop dunks by Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.
