When it counts he knocks down the shots and makes his free throws. We had to hang on but we played a solid game.
knack sam shots
Sam was terrific. He made big shots again. It's an unbelievable knack that he has.
aware deal everybody hard knows level playing shots time
Everybody knows he's playing at an unbelievable level right now. All we can do is be aware of where he is, every time down the court, and try to make his shots as hard as possible. That's not really a big deal for Kobe, but you've got to try.
gave shots
We came, we blocked, we attacked. The shots we gave up weren't high-percentage shots.
bag cat close confidence four half shots three
We didn't get rotated to him. We let him get off in the first half three or four shots that he made. Now you let the cat out of the bag and then, even if you're close to him, he has the confidence that he can make shots.
cold hit obviously shots spell team tough win
They're a team that could win it all. Obviously they have to be in one of their rolls. As long as they're making their shots and don't hit any real cold spell they're tough - they're a monster.
capable hit lucky position shot
If you put someone in position to hit a lucky shot and they're capable of doing it, it happens.
shoot shots wants willing
The important thing is to not let (Anthony) shoot the shots he wants and to have him shoot the ones -we're willing to give up.
careless credit difference easy game points selection shot turned
The difference in the game was our careless turnovers that turned into easy points for them. Our turnovers and shot selection weren't very good. I credit their defense.
hand hot rode
We had the hot hand in (Brand) and we just rode it.
biggest brand elton time upsets
Elton Brand is a lock. It would be one of the biggest upsets of all time if he didn't make it.

Q was terrific. We brought him back in and he guarded Bobby Jackson in the fourth quarter. He did a great job on anyone he was on.
elton floor number places saw year
We went to Elton and he delivered. That is what he has been doing all year long. He can play a number of places on the floor and you saw that tonight.
ability addition best defender dimensions excellent great key last league looking player shooting solid team third
Cuttino is a great addition to our club. We were looking for a player that would add some key dimensions to our team that we were lacking. His 3-point shooting ability was third best in the league last season. He is a solid defender and excellent all-around player.
