LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Clippers games used to be opportunities for family synergy. On Sunday, it will be father vs. son.
When the Clippers play host to the Washington Wizards on Sunday, one part of the subplot will be Austin Rivers' return to Staples Center to face off against dear old dad.
Doc Rivers was expected to go through something of a chemistry test early as head coach of the Clippers, but his revamped roster is starting to show an ability to unify quickly.
Some of that altered Clippers chemistry, of course, has to do with the offseason trade that sent guard Austin Rivers to the Wizards in exchange for center Marcin Gortat.
