Suns coach Alvin Gentry felt ill after eating lunch on Thursday and was caught throwing up along the sideline multiple times by television cameras.

Phoenix lost to Los Angeles 103-101 in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.

"I told them not to bring that trash can out to the bench area because I know every camera in the world would be on me if I threw up," Gentry said. "I really was trying not to do it as much as I possibly could."

Gentry had a grilled artichoke and dip at a downtown L.A. restaurant on Thursday afternoon.

"They did?" he asked when told that television cameras captured him throwing up on the sideline. "Oh, well, just tell everyone that it was Kobe Bryant making me sick."
