Celtics' Coach Doc Rivers doesn't plan on resting his players despite their sizable lead over the Pistons for the Eastern Conference's best record, according to the Boston Globe.

"We are just going to play our guys," Rivers said. "Clearly, you want to cut down minutes. But I'm not a big believer, the same like the Patriots. You don't change what you're doing."

"You may rest them in games as far as how many minutes they play. But no, you just keep playing because of rhythm. You need rhythm. It's a rhythm game," he added.
