The Lakers end yet another streak as they give the Cleveland Cavs (39-10) their first home loss of the season after 23 straight wins. Guess what player in this game made the biggest difference?? Not Kobe, not LeBron, but Lamar Odom! If you asked me how much Lamar Odom would finish with before the game started, I probably would've said under 10, but today he scored a season-high 28 and pulled down a season-high 17 boards. The Lakers (41-9) will need more performances like that if they wanna get back to the Finals.
The other big story in this game was that now L.A. has homecourt advantage in the case of them reaching the Finals again and playing either Boston or Cleveland since they swept both season series. That's huge! Especially for Cleveland seeing they are an unimpressive 16-9 on the road this year.
