Rivers thought Toronto defended Harden and said “we got to get James going downhill in some more actions that he likes.”
Speedy second-year guard Tyrese Maxey followed a 4-for-13 shooting performance in Game 4 by going 5 of 14 with 12 points Monday.
“I keep saying with Tyrese we just got to get the ball in his hands more,” Rivers said. “He’s just not getting the ball in transition enough. And that’s on us.”
For his part, Maxey said he has to “get back in a good mental space, help us score and just try to bring positive energy.”
