The subject line in the email sent by Fox Sports Radio read, “Austin Rivers says the Clippers have moved the ball better without Blake Griffin.”
The younger Rivers, a backup guard, did an interview this week with the Steve Gorman Sports show. He was asked by Jeffrey Gorman, “... You guys are humming without the great Blake Griffin. How does he come back and everything is seamless?”
Rivers’ response was emailed to Clippers beat writers.
“You’ve got to understand, because we haven’t played with Blake, our ball movement has been a lot better,” Austin Rivers said, according to the transcript.
