Jerry Stackhouse crashed into Shaquille O'Neal during Thursday's Game 1 victory and he needed three stitches on his nose.

"I had a nice gash. [Assistant coach Bernard Griffith] came in looked at me, he said, 'It's all right, you wasn't the prettiest guy anyway.' I'm glad I'm already married. But that's just part of getting that gold trophy, somewhere in the next few weeks. I'll get as many stitches as I need."
