"I think our players deserved that win. We've been through so many games where at the end we haven't made a play and now Jason steps up and hits a huge shot."

"It's a cumulative thing. The last how many games, how many was there a shot to win at the end? And we didn't get any of them. I think these kids deserve a win. It's discouraging and doesn't feel very good. These guys deserve a win."

"It's a tough deal. Mike got hurt early, and J.R. was not with us."

"Kobe really hurt us. He did a great job on (Richardson),"

"He's a steadying influence, ... He just keeps the ball in his hands and guys know that he'll be able to get them the ball."

"Jason Richardson's given it everything he has. He has showed tremendous heart. But it's a team and it's a team game. We can't do it with any one guy. We've got to get a first and a second and even a third guy. You need to get guys playing well and playing with confidence."

"Everybody on our team sure liked Matt. He works hard and he makes open shots and it seems to me like he's playing with more confidence."
