I missed some shots that I normally make, and they really pressured me. It was tough, but when we play them again in April, we'll have some counters for what they were doing tonight.

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.
This team came out and beat us. Every time we made a run, they came back and made a run. We lost this one. ... We know that we're a couple of shots and a couple of defensive plays away from being a great team.
A little shot in the butt. It started kicking in after a couple minutes out there and I felt good after that.

I hit that jump shot and I kind of knew from there that I was going to be holding that trophy up.
He's shooting shots he knows he can shoot on post-ups on Shaq and drives from me. He's just in the rhythm. He's also going to the bucket and finishing strong. Hopefully, he and Antoine (Walker) continue to play the way they have and we'll be pretty good offensively throughout the playoffs.
I didn't have to look for my shot today, so I was able to do some other things. Coach put the ball in my hands tonight to make things happen and see what I could do.
I didn't have my athletic ability tonight the way I would have liked to have it. But I was able to make the plays I had to make with a couple blocked shots and a couple steals. I would have liked to have more athletic ability tonight, but I did what I had to do.
Some games it's just guys have open shots and they take them, and when they miss it looks worse.
The key is being healthy and not worrying about the individual stuff. I had some good shots but I just missed them. The playoffs will be a whole different story. We'll be ready.
I knew it wasn't my night. Coach told me a halftime to keep going. It was just getting into a rhythm.
I know Alonzo was saying that on the bench over and over and over.
