After the Los Angeles Lakers lost their first Western Conference semi-finals game against the Dallas Mavericks, Kobe Bryant is highly concerned.
"I'm highly concerned," said Bryant. "This team can beat us. It's clear. We just have to come in ready to play Game 2."
On Monday, the Mavs overcame a 16-point deficit in the second half of the game to beat the Lakers 96-94 in the first game of the series.
But the Mavs aren't getting comfortable just yet.
"We're not happy right now. We're not satisfied," said Jason Terry, who scored 15 points for Dallas. "We didn't play our best basketball. When we watch the film, we'll realize what we did out there wasn't that great."
Mavericks star player Dirk Nowitzki echoed Terry's sentiments.
"It's definitely a great win for us, but if you look at their last series, they lost Game 1 and came right back and won the next two and had the series back in control," said Nowitzki. "We'd love to go for it in Game 2."
