The Lakers have won nine consecutive games and Kobe Bryant seemed satisfied when asked if there were anything the team can be doing better.

"Not really," Bryant said. "We are doing well."

"We've got the best record in the league and we want to keep it that way," Pau Gasol said. "It's just the first quarter of the regular season. We've still got a long ways to go. We understand that we've had a lot of home games this first part of the season and that it's going to get complicated and a lot harder. So we have to be ready for it."
