Anybody who goes at the Rivers family better be prepared to deal with UC Irvine freshman Spencer Rivers.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Austin Rivers—who had four points in 18 minutes—and coach Doc Rivers couldn't do enough to keep the team from suffering a 108-87 loss at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday.
