"It was no secret he was going to take the shot ... We ran two guys at him and he still made it."


Jay Triano Mar 10 2010 8:26 AM from The Sports Network

"They didn't come early at me and I got the shot off ... That's part of my responsibility, to close teams out. Our defense tonight was garbage. We have to focus on execution."


Kobe Bryant Mar 10 2010 8:26 AM from The Sports Network

"There's not that much margin for error right now ... You lose a game like this, you can go from fifth (seed) to seventh or even eighth. You don't want to be fighting to get back in the hunt. We've got to figure some things out."


Antoine Wright Mar 10 2010 8:24 AM from NBA.com

"They were more focused than we were"


Chris Bosh Mar 10 2010 8:24 AM from NBA.com

"I'm worried about what we can do to win ball games, I'm not worried about streaks"


Pau Gasol Mar 10 2010 8:24 AM from NBA.com

"I didn't release it the way I really wanted to so I tried to compensate for it because I felt the ball slipping ... That is my shot. You give that to me 10 times and I make it nine times."


Kobe Bryant Mar 10 2010 8:24 AM from NBA.com

"With a lot of these guys, we'll just kind of feel it out and see how he goes and he'll tell me and I'll look at it"


Mike D'Antoni Mar 10 2010 7:19 AM from New York Post

"Feeling pretty good. Just go out there [tonight] and see what I can do"


Eddy Curry Mar 10 2010 7:19 AM from New York Post

"It was a tough play, because it was a two-point game"


Jose Calderon Mar 10 2010 6:43 AM from TSN.ca

"It's no secret that (Bryant) is going to take the shot there ... We've all seen it happen. We dodged one in Toronto when he had a shot at the buzzer, and tonight we ran two guys at him and he still makes it."
