Script:

SOUNDBITE (English): Jeremy Lin, Los Angeles Lakers Guard (On win)

"We really needed it. And I just feel like everything was, like you said, got put together in terms of Ed (Lakers Forward Ed Davis), I thought did an unbelievable job protecting the rim and in a lot of ways he was the most valuable player."

SOUNDBITE (English): Jeremy Lin, Los Angeles Lakers Guard (On second half defensive adjustments)

"So we came out in the second half and talked about trying to apply more defensive pressure, try and make them less comfortable and I think our team tried to do that and rushed them into certain things, try to not let them shoot three's (three-pointers) and open layups."

SOUNDBITE (English): Jeremy Lin, Los Angeles Lakers Guard (On importance of getting a win ahead of a road trip)

"Yeah, it's huge because it's just, it's a kind of your momentum in terms of going into the next whatever, tough stretch and you want to have good momentum. You don't want to go in feeling down mentally or beat up, or oh it's only going to get tougher and we haven't been, you know, so this is big for us."
