Lakers guard Kobe Bryant isn't worried about having lost Game 1 of their semifinal series against the Rockets on Monday night.

"We played really bad," he said of the 100-92 loss, but the negativity ended there.

"It's not like it's the end of the world," Bryant said. "We're not the first team ever to lose a Game 1 at home, it's just here in Los Angeles, people get pretty nervous."
