Here’s what Kobe had to say about the game and his teammates:
I like how Nash is moving so far. Both teams a lil out of rhythm to start

Gotta keep the spurs offense in front of our d. They r great at penetrating and pitching to their shooters

Kobe’s replies to questions and comments by fans and followers during the game:
@bkbb24 rhythm of the game. When it doesn’t flow inside because of what the d allows we have to force the issue — Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) April 21, 2013
@themontelshow spurs ability to change sides of the floor andget penetration is hurting us.have to pick up pressure,make them uncomfortable — Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) April 21, 2013
@nbarocksstc I agree. Lethargic start for us. Gotta minimize little mistakes like giving up the middle drive on close outs — Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) April 21, 2013
@alexleesays I can’t travel yet. Altitude pressure causes swelling. Have to keep it elevated as much as possible — Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) April 21, 2013
@lakergangordie_ lot of correctable things. Lil strategic adjustments we can make Spurs hurt us with quiet 5-0/6-0 runs that kept us at bay — Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) April 21, 2013

@joshuabass91 get on block and make the game easier for ur guys Defensive transition on the bigs so we don’t give up 3’s to their guards — Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) April 21, 2013
@rocountsonkobe 100%that’s the key. Making adjustments. Chess not checkers — Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) April 21, 2013
