I don’t know what to say. I just missed my free throws. We all missed them. It was just one of those nights when they weren’t going down for us. It’s so hard to explain because I have been working so hard on my free throws and making a lot of progress the last couple of weeks, but last night just wasn’t my night.

We feel like we let another game away from us. We had Game 2 and let the Lakers win. We feel like this one was right there for us and we gave the Lakers n ew life and they won it again in OT.

Those kind of losses are just so hard to handle, but I’ll tell you this: We ain’t quitting now. I’m not dropping my head and I won’t allow my guys to drop their heads either. We’re not rolling over and just giving the Lakers a championship.

We’ve come back from a lot of stuff in the playoffs, and I still feel like we can come back from this too. The only way we can do this is if everybody still thinks we can win the series. It starts with Sunday night, and when we get that win, we’ll try to get Game 6 back in LA.

Nobody is hurting more about what happened last night than me, but I’m not hanging my head. I wish I had those free throws back, but I can’t shoot them again. All I can do now is move on and try to do better next t ime.

Everybody – our team, our coaches and fans – have to keep believing that we can come back from this. I know we can. We’re not done yet ‘cause we got way too much fight in us to go out like this.

We’ll be back from this, ya’ll know that.
