Kevin Garnett played for Doc Rivers on the 2008 Celtics team that won an NBA title, but that doesn’t mean he’s willing to take any grief from his son.

During Monday night’s contest between Doc’s Clippers and KG’s Timberwolves, Austin Rivers bumped into Garnett after a timeout was called as he headed toward the bench.
