My points in this game came throughout the game. Usually I have big spurts in quarters either in the first or the second, but tonight it just seemed like my points were spread out through the whole game. We're finally starting to come together and play team defense and start to execute on our offense a lot better.

I was brought here to play defense, to chase the little guards around and to save his energy for the offensive side of the court. I wasn't expecting to shoot the ball. Of course, that's Kobe Bryant, the top player in the league right now. Who's going to tell him not to shoot?

Kobe is always a factor in the game. I don't think Golden State stopped him from scoring the ball. He just got other guys involved in the offense. It was a game Kobe didn't have to force the game until late.

Listen, the guy was hot. He was hitting shots. He was just in a zone. He couldn't miss.

I like to start out fast and get some. I try to get mine early, because come the third and fourth quarter, it's K.B. time.
