Milwaukee came back in the second quarter and made a game of it.
We had a blowout on our hands in the third quarter and we never recovered from that.
We had a blowout in the third quarter and we never recovered from it. Give them credit Mobley and Brand were productive players out there.
It was like the third quarter would never end. I thought we would never get through it. Larry helped by getting off the court.
It was quite an exhibition for three quarters Kobe put on tonight. I've seen a few 60-point ballgames in my time, but none of them had been done by the third quarter.

They got their veterans back on the floor in the second quarter and started running their screen-and-rolls. They were able to play some defense and shut us down after we made a run in the second quarter.
I was disappointed in our fourth quarter beginning. We put ourselves in a good position, and didn't score for the first three minutes of the fourth quarter. We gave it away in the fourth, and went from one to eleven.
I thought we had a really good defensive first half. We found momentum at the beginning of the second quarter and established a lead.
Kind of a blowout in that third quarter when they got a run on us, and we never recovered from that.
He'll be playing out on the perimeter a lot, ... How much, I don't know. He might start there the first and third quarters and play a power position in the second and fourth quarters.
I didn't think he had good legs. He told me in the fourth quarter he was going to get hot, that he felt like he was getting in his rhythm, and he hit in a few in the fourth quarter. But, he was really bothered by Bell. He did a great job on him.
We talked about how passive they were in the first quarter.
When it doesn't produce wins, that's the fine line. And then players . . . also have to feel like they're a part of it. If they are, then they play at a better level.
