WHAT’S UP DOC?: Kudos to Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers for calling a timeout with 9.4 seconds remaining in Monday’s game so his own fans could give Dirk Nowitzki a well-deserved standing ovation. During the timeout, Rivers got on the microphone and urged the fans to stand and cheer for Nowitzki, which they did. Rivers and those Clippers fans realized Monday may have been Nowitzki’s final game at the Staples Center, so they wanted to show their appreciation for the fine work he’s done during his 21-year career.
TRIPLE-DOUBLE WATCH: In his first game since the All-Star break, Luka Doncic registered his fourth triple-double of the season as he finished the game with 28 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
