From this LA Times article on the game. Someone is going to have to explain to me what Kobe's "tacos" quote means.

"Blake just punked us," said Bryant, who scored 27 points.
"Lamar just had to make a stand," Bryant said, noting that Griffin had run through Gasol.
"He [Griffin] uses his body," Gasol said. "He still hasn't developed a lot of moves. He tries sometimes to go over your back, or shove you or jump through you. He's trying to play his game. That's about it."
Meanwhile, squandering the 12-point lead did not signify a trend of letting opponents off the hook, the Lakers said.
"There [have been] a lot of tacos," Bryant said. "We've really put the hammer down on teams. Tonight they capitalized on mistakes and Blake just ran through us. We didn't have anybody that was going to put up a stand."
