Doc Rivers doesn't hoot and holler in the locker room at halftime. He doesn't fire up the troops. Despite that, the Cetics always seem to come out big in the third quarter. They outscored the Bucks by 17 in the third quarter tonight.

"We remind them who we are, every halftime," said Rivers. "That’s basically what we do. And usually wee start defense and then we work to offense. We remind our team just who we are, how we play. We have a blueprint of how we should play. And for us it’s easy in that aspect -- is you can look at the things you’re not doing and we just point them out. These are the things that when we are doing well we do, and these are the things we haven’t done in the first half. Other than that, it’s nothing deep or anything like that.”
