Lakers lose a close game in Utah. Kobe missed a wild 3 point attempt with less than 2 seconds left to seal the deal.
[Inside The Lakers] Will Lakers coach Phil Jackson move center Andrew Bynum to the bench in favor of Lamar Odom for Game 4 on Saturday? Bynum played a little more than seven minutes because of foul trouble and scored only four points and grabbed two rebounds. Odom led the Lakers with 21 points and 14 rebounds in a little more than 41 minutes.
[Lakers.com BasketBlog] Confidence aside, on this night, it was only Odom’s star that shone brightly with his 21 points on 10-of-17 shooting, 14 boards (five offensive), plus a block, a steal and some terrific weakside defense. It was he who kept L.A. afloat despite 30.4 percent shooting in the first half, and who was everywhere in a 25-8 run to start the third quarter.
[J.A. Adande/ESPN] The Lakers feel this one escaped them, that they had every opportunity to lower the Jazz halfway into the grave but let them escape. They know they have to improve they have to do a better job on the boards after getting outrebounded 55-40. They figure they'll get a better shooting night from Bryant in Game 4 Saturday. And they figure to get more from Bynum, who might or might not return to the starting lineup.
[ESPN/AP] "Those guys coming off the bench really hurt us," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said.
