Jovial 'after Kobe' Game 4 loss

Jovial 'after Kobe' Game 4 loss:
After the Laker's Game 4 lost to the Phoenix Suns Kobe Bryant made one thing is clear, it was the defense that lost the game, his team is not able to score points.


"We have a much better job defensively do," Bryant said quietly at the beginning of his post game press conference Tuesday in Phoenix.


Bryant took only four shots in the fourth quarter, making three shots. Each of his shots were made with less than a minute and half remaining in the game.


He added that the Lakers had so much focus on attacking the newly implemented zone Suns, they lost focus on the defensive end, "which you win championships."


"Offensively, we scored enough points, we did a better job defensively to do, period," an irritated Bryant repeated when pressed by reporters on the cause of defeat.


When a reporter asked Bryant how he felt, he replied with one word, "Jovial."
Almost in disbelief the reporter asked Bryant to repeat what he said and said again sarcastically said, "Jovial." Listen to Bryant's reaction.


Kobe scored 38 points in the 115-106 loss. Game 5 will be Thursday at 9 am in Los Angeles.
