Ahead of their rematch on Thursday, Kobe Bryant was asked to analyze why the Heat have struggled lately.

“It takes a little adjusting, I guess,” Bryant said of LeBron and Dwyane Wade. “I don’t know, I’m still trying to kill people.”

The Lakers have not lost since the All-Star break.

“I think the difference between us,” Bryant said, “is that we all know what our roles are. Everything’s cemented for us. I think for them, they’re still trying to figure that out, so it makes it a little tougher.”
