We players understand we have the best lives in the world. We owe a debt of gratitude to all our fans, everyone who supports us.

Kobe is the ultimate competitor, so any time we can hold him in check, we're happy.

Night in and night out I look forward to playing the other team's top player. You have to pay attention to every detail when you are defending [James]. ... He's going to get his shot. You just have to contest it.

We had opportunities, ... We just made a couple mental mistakes down the stretch? That?s what bothers us the most.

When (Owens returns), that's five pretty strong players. They've got to play their best but when they do, they could give (Severna Park) a run.
