Phil Jackson described Trevor Ariza's innate ability to make plays off the ball in an interesting way on Monday, whether it's tipping passes in the lane, slipping between defenders for offensive rebounds, or cutting to the basket for layups.

"He's like a ghost out there," Jackson said. "Like a shadow. Just all of a sudden he shows on a screen, and he's gone. He's a blip, and he's away. He runs the court like that. He's a stealth player more than you'd say (of) a person that infuses the team with energy. But his presence is certainly felt."
