More Lakers postgame

The view from the other locker room:

Steve Nash:

``I thought they played harder than we did. That's really the bottom line. They played harder than we did and I don't think we stick to our game plan like we did so well in the first two games.

``We were a step slow. We weren't in the right spots. And they were so good at it the first two games. I know we played with a lot of energy, but I thought our concentration in the first two games was good too.

Raja Bell

``They were a desperate team. They played with a lot of desperation and we didn't trea it the same way. That was one team wanting to win more than the other one did.

``i thought we made it pretty clear that we didn't think we had it in the bag -- its a series.''
