There's no question you have to try to keep the ball in front of you as much as possible without getting fouls. The perimeter (defenders) have got to do a little better job on that now that we don't have the luxury of letting them go down to Alonzo.
You try to bounce back and that's all I tried to do every time I had a bad game. I was just putting the effort forward for my teammates to make plays and make plays for myself. So I did a decent job of bouncing back.
No matter what, if it was going right or wrong, or guys were tired, we still got the job done. It's a beautiful thing to see guys come into their roles.

I have to give credit to the NBA, because they've done an unbelievable job of taking our game global and putting us in a position to be able to come here and other places in the world and see how big the game of basketball is. If you have never been here, you might not really understand how amazing and how big basketball is. These fans in China love the sport, and they have more players playing than we have people living in the US.
I'm a playmaker, and I'm going to score. At the end of the day, my job is to put the ball in the basket.
My job, my whole life, I've always had that kind of doubter, people have always doubted me. And I don't know how I would succeed without it. So I welcome it, and it gives me a challenge, and I will see if I can live up to my challenge.
I got a rhythm going. The guys just did a good job of putting the ball in my hands.
They have the ball 100 percent of the time. They're doing a great job with their pick-and-rolls. It's very tough to guard them.
I take the blame for it. I did a bad job on him.
In the first half, I was just letting them deny me. The second half, I tried to do a better job of getting open. But it's kind of hard to do something when you don't have any arms to do anything, when the guy's all on your arms. It's very tough.
He took advantage of defensive mistakes, lapses in transition and got some easy buckets. Got to the foul line 23, 24 times, so he was very aggressive. He had a great game. ... I take the blame for it. I did a bad job on him.
When a guy's 6-8, raises as high as he does and fades on his shot, you just try to do the best that you can to put a hand in his face. He made big shots for them.
We lost a great teammate. But I was also excited because the guys coming in can help us get to where we need to go, and that's to win a championship.
