Head Coach Alvin Gentry
Q. Can you comment on keeping Rondo on the bench during the second half?
HEAD COACH ALVIN GENTRY: Well, he had a groin. His groin was not in great shape and we knew that right from the start. His movement wasn't as it had been, and I just didn't think that it was worth risking something that could be serious.
So we just -- we just didn't play him the rest of the game.
He wanted to play, and he tried to play right from the start, and that's why I love the guy, you know, he is as big a competitor as I've been around, and he would do anything to help our team.
