<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Bryant had only three shots in the fourth quarter, although his three-pointer from the top of the arc with 4.4 seconds left sent the game to overtime. In the final seconds of overtime, Bryant found Luke Walton on the left side of the lane for what would have been about a five-foot attempt. Walton passed back to Bryant, who bobbled the ball because he wasn't expecting it. Bryant probably would not have had time to shoot if he had caught the ball cleanly. Bryant said teammates should not be surprised when he feeds them the ball, regardless of time or place. "They shouldn't be," he said. "All year long it's been one of our themes. They welcome that challenge. If a team collapses on me, I kick it out to them and they've got to make the play. That's just one of those things that we've got to kind of roll with. "We're a young team. Luke really hasn't been in that situation before. You just chalk it up as a learning experience. Next time, he'll make it."</div> Source
