This question … was a bad one. It makes no sense for a team, down two in the waning seconds, to hold the ball and pass up a clean look. Unless he was trying to get Rivers to admit his team’s defense was bad enough that they should have taken the risk and focused on taking time off the clock.

Either way this was just a bad interaction, and clearly Rivers didn’t let him off the hook.
