On April 21, Beijing time, when the playoff situation in the West was in full swing, the situation in the East was relatively clear, especially Philadelphia took the lead in taking a 3-0 lead to win the match point. Philadelphia City coach Rivers received unanimous praise for his crucial final-minute suspension, and he led the team to three consecutive wins to reach 101 playoff wins, rising to 4th all-time.
Before the start of this year's playoffs, Rivers had won 98 games in the playoffs and led the Celtics to a championship in 2008 as the overall champion coach. It's just that in Rivers' coaching career, there have been many examples of 3-1 leads being overturned, resulting in his public opinion not too good.
However, in the first round of this year's playoffs, Rivers coached Philadelphia as the first team to win the match point 3-0, especially the G3 game to help Philadelphia complete a 17-point comeback. In the final stages of overtime, Rivers requested a timely timely timer, and then successfully arranged the tactics, allowing Embiid to complete a 0.9-second accurate three-point shot, which became the key to Philadelphia's reversal victory.
Rivers has now boosted his playoff wins to 101, surpassing legendary coach Larry Brown by 100 to take fourth place in NBA history, while he also surpassed the Celtics' legendary Cardinal Cardinal Auerbach's record of 99 wins.
Today, the top four in the history of NBA coaches' playoff wins are:
1. Phil Jackson wins 229
2. Pat Riley wins 171
3. Popovich wins 170
4. Rivers wins 101
