Doc Rivers addresses dangers of goading star players

Philadelphia 76ers coach Doc Rivers defended Joel Embiid's kick at a Brooklyn Nets player, saying the NBA needs to do something to address players trying to goad stars into retaliating.

Embiid received a flagrant 1 foul during Thursday's Game 3 win after kicking up near the groin area of Nets center Nic Claxton, who was standing over Embiid after making an alley-oop dunk over him. Claxton received a technical foul.
