Kobe Bryant, whose offensive impact was limited by Kevin Durant in Game Three, talked to media about how the Lakers let the Thunder take control of the game.

“We just gave up too many easy opportunities for them to gain momentum,” Bryant said. “We’ve got to make them work for it a little more.”

Lakers head coach Phil Jackson said his team will have to take better shots and be more aggressive rebounding to gain the edge over Oklahoma City.
