* @paugasol said it’s a huge + when "scoring machine" @kobebryant facilitates like he did tonight (14A). Makes it so hard on the opponent.

D’Antoni said screen/roll game was much better tonight. Give Howard, Gasol credit for better screens. Kobe took advantage w/t dimes.

This was the 6th time Kobe has had at least 14 assists in a reg. season game; his career high of 15 came in February of 2002.

Pau Gasol said he doesn’t see LAL losing many games if they share the ball like they did tonight, & cover for each other on D.

Dwight worked hard tonight and comes out of the game to cheers. Kobe is first Laker off the bench to applaud and go congratulate him.

Kobe had high praise for Howard’s effort tonight on both ends; LAL a fully different team when they get that from Howard.

After every game Lakers win, Steve Nash says the same thing. It's about Dwight Howard. Tonight: "He showed so much energy."
— KEVIN DING (@KevinDing) January 26, 2013

Howard on key to beating Utah: "We all had Skittles before the game." How do you beat OKC? "More Skittles."

Ebanks, sitting in Dwight's chair: Me: You don't look like Dwight. "No, I'm not Dwight. I'm invisible in this locker room." Good point
