"It's always the ones you fight back from that hurt the worst"


James Singleton Mar 20 2010 4:35 PM from Sporting News

"It just depends on the defense they're playing against you ... You just make them pick their poison."


Kobe Bryant Mar 20 2010 4:35 PM from Sporting News

"The guys on this team, we've been playing together for a while, so that's not a problem. You just continue to play ... We're used to playing through injuries and things like that. I saw him after the game and he wasn't limping..."


Kobe Bryant Mar 20 2010 4:35 PM from Sporting News

"I was just running and felt a lot of pain in my calf and down from there ... It’s calmed down a little bit now. It was just really sharp, really quick. One or two seconds of super sharp pain."


Andrew Bynum Mar 20 2010 3:57 PM from SLAM Online

"We fought so hard to get back in the game, and that late run took a little bit out of us ... But I liked our effort in this game. Even though we lost, we played hard and played decent basketball for a full 48 minutes."


Jonny Flynn Mar 20 2010 8:35 AM from KARE | Minneapolis & St. Paul

"This is the time of year where it doesn't matter who you're playing against. You've just got to play hard, do your job and play the right way ... We did a good job tonight. We got back on defense. I think our rebounding could..."


Kobe Bryant Mar 20 2010 8:35 AM from KARE | Minneapolis & St. Paul

"He's a gambler -- and a proficient one, I think ... He knows the odds, he knows when to take the risk, and he carries that sense that this is a risk-reward type of game. This year he took the big risk and brought Lamar back in..."


Phil Jackson Mar 20 2010 8:35 AM from KARE | Minneapolis & St. Paul

"If some of those guys hit their shots, he would've had 20 assists instead of 13 ... It's always a good sight and good energy for the team. I like it that it's out of the context of the offense. Sometimes he gets carried away out..."


Phil Jackson Mar 20 2010 7:21 AM from Los Angeles Times

"We didn't have any distractions."


Lamar Odom Mar 20 2010 7:21 AM from Los Angeles Times

"It was hard for us to stay focused tonight ... I felt like we were distracted by a variety of things."
