lamar odom

Lamar Odom didn't need to see the stat sheet to know he had a bad game, but he looked at it anyway. He stared at it in front of his locker after the Lakers' 103-84 loss to the Spurs on Sunday in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals.

Lamar Odom had a sleepless night after the Lakers' Game 3 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Pau Gasol said it's always hard to get shut eye after a tough loss and Derek Fisher said he slept "decent enough." Los Angeles coach Phil Jackson wasn't surprised.

"I like players to get their rest, there's no doubt," Jackson said Monday.

There would be no blown lead in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals. Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers saw to that.

Bryant scored 22 points, Lamar Odom added 20 points and 12 rebounds, and the Lakers took command late in the second quarter to rout San Antonio 101-71 Friday night for a 2-0 lead over the Spurs.

"The actual experience of playing together in a practice session is probably best for him so that we can work things out together"
