Giannis on facing LeBron: “It means a lot to me. I got his jersey tonight. I think he is the blueprint for every athlete, not just basketball athletes, on how to be consistent. To be consistent for 23 years, to be available, to be a winner, to lead by example. It is incredible for me to be around greatness and I will never take it for granted. I have the utmost respect for him and his family and the way he has carried himself for 22 years. I think he brings the best out of me as a player and he’s one of those guys that I definitely look up to.”

LeBron on how his body is feeling: "Every day is its own challenge. I just try to put the work in and try to prepare myself for whatever that day calls for. I got a lot of rest. I would say sleep. I got to sleep a lot last night and then got up to get a good workout in before I came here before shootaround. I want to prepare myself to go and play. Like I said, every day will have his own challenges and I just have to go at them however see may fit.”

LeBron on the final possession vs. Bucks: “I turned the ball over. Definitely not that point in time. Giannis [Antetokounmpo] did... he made a great play by getting his arms and I took him from behind. But can't turn the ball over, obviously."

Lakers drop to No. 5 in the West with the Rockets right behind them...

Luka on Jaxson Hayes: "I love playing with him down the stretch, whenever. I think we have great chemistry. Obviously, that pick-and-roll. But like I said last, two or three games ago, he's improved so much in everything."
