“It doesn't really feel like you're here for a game,” fan Jeff Nadal told the Associated Press. “It feels like you're here for something a lot bigger than that. We didn't even know the guy, but we feel like we did.”
The Staples Center also asked the crowds of fans amassed outside to watch the tribute to Bryant and other victims of Sunday's accident at home with their loved ones. The pre-game tribute was not broadcast on the Staples Center screens.
