Following the Laker's Game 4 loss to the Phoenix Suns Kobe Bryant made one thing clear, it was the defense that lost the game, not his team's ability to score points.
"We have to do a much better job defensively," Bryant said calmly at the beginning of his post game press conference Tuesday night in Phoenix.
Bryant took just four shots in the fourth quarter, making three shots. Each of his made shots came with less than a minute and a half remaining in the game.
He added that the Lakers had focused so much on attacking the Suns newly implemented zone, that they lost focus on the defensive end, "which wins you championships."
"Offensively we scored enough points, we have to do a better job defensively, period," an annoyed Bryant repeated when pressed by reporters for the root cause of the defeat.
When a reporter asked Bryant how he was feeling, he responded with one word, "Jovial."
Almost in disbelief the reporter asked Bryant to repeat what he said, and he said again sarcastically said "Jovial." Listen to Bryant's response.
Kobe scored 38 points in the 115-106 loss. Game 5 will be Thursday night at 9 p.m. in Los Angeles.
