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.
It's just getting the ball in your hands and making a play. I've got confidence in myself and my teammates have confidence to get me the ball.

If someone wears something you like, you make comments on it. And if someone wears something we don't like, we make comments on it, too. That's just what guys do, what teammates do. Besides that, we don't really compete in that space.
Well, it used to be Kobe Bryant...the second best all time...now, I have a new favorite player to play against...my former teammate, LeBron James.
The thing is, I don't do these things for recognition, being a good teammate, being a positive member of the community. I do them because those things make me whole and complete.
I put it on my shoulders at the end. I tried to make some plays. I went through a tough stretch but my teammates gave me confidence. ... At the end I was in a zone. I haven't been in one of those all year. It feels good to finally get one.
I had to pick my spots, more than anything, to get my teammates involved. Then, like Shaq and I always say, the fourth quarter is my time.
Hopefully, I can become a staple, like my teammate Shaq. I'm grateful that NBA fans think so highly of my game.
I approached the game differently by coming out and focusing on getting my teammates the ball. That is something I want to continue to do. I want to open things up and get my teammates the ball. Then I can start looking for my offense.
The first half I was looking for my teammates more than my shot, and in the third quarter I just decided to be more aggressive offensively.
The first few minutes were pretty rough on me. I actually told a couple of my teammates I wouldn't be out there for too long.
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.
