Some teams try to throw away particularly poor losses and attempt to move on by forgetting about them.
"It was a full-on motivation from last year," Tobias Harris said of his team's sweep by the Boston Celtics in last season's playoffs during an exclusive interview with Bleacher Report. "It gave us a whole different approach this year. We got Coach [Doc Rivers] in, he established a whole new system and a new type of culture. And us as a group, we just bought into it. I think that was the most important thing, everybody understood that losing is terrible and it's not a good feeling to go out that way. So we have a chip on our shoulders."
