On Christmas Day, Doc Rivers and Horace Grant were seen shacking hands before Rivers was set to call the Los Angeles Lakers game against the Houston Rockets along AL Michaels for ABC.

The two hadn't spoken they had a falling out in late 2002 when Rivers was coaching the Magic and Grant was in his second stint with the team.

"Life's too short to go around not speaking to each other," Rivers said Sunday. "I had my mind made up to go say something to him. Horace said it wasn't the way he wanted things to end here. Shaq was funny. He said, 'Hit 'em, Doc!' " . . .
