From the locker room

KOBE:

``We played really well. We executed our strategy. We played with a purpose and we came out with a big win.''

DREW:

``I was able to rest over these last five or six days. That really helped me out. I got my legs back, I'm fresh. As far as the elbow goes, I'm going to continue getting treatment. It hurts a little bit, but it's going to be that way for a little while.''

PHIL:

``It's a good win. We have to take it into perspective. They played a back-to-back game and came off the home floor on a road game.''
