Kidd says he was just 'trying to win' when he spilled his drink

After attempting to avoid the topic on Friday, Nets coach Jason Kidd caved to the media's pressure and opened up about Wednesday night's drink-spilling fiasco.

Kidd was apparently just "trying" to win" when he told Tyshawn Taylor to "hit" him so he could spill his drink and get an unofficial timeout.

"Paul [Pierce] got a great look, but the league fined me for something that I probably shouldn't have done," Kidd told ESPN. "We'll move on."

The incident resulted in a $50,000 fine, but it doesn't seem like Kidd has many regrets.

"It's about trying to win and those guys in that locker room, and I tried to put those guys in a position to get a basket, a good look and we did," Kidd continued.

So where did the rookie coach come up with this genius plan?

"Um, just listening to other coaches or other owners talk about coaches and what they've done," Kidd answered.
