Some of it was a lack of killer instinct or focus or desperation. But sometimes the ball just bounces the wrong way. You hate to put it in simple terms. A couple times we were there, and it just bounced the wrong way on us.

We are getting our feet a little bit. A little desperation time, but we are a young team and we are fighting.

Every time we play these guys, a good game breaks out and that's got to be exciting for the fans. They score baskets that you can't guard, and I think we do the same thing. Tonight, we just happened to score more than they did, the reverse of last time.

(Bryant) was a little more passive than usual.

Tony Parker hits every freaking shot no matter who we put on him. The little ass.

The main thing is we got Steve and Raja back, and they both looked good.
