Kobe scores 30 vs Minesota in Odom's return

Kobe had a great all around game last night with 30pts 7rbds & 7asts, leading L.A to a 107-93 victory over Minesota.

But the story of the night was the return of Odom, who played for the first time since game 5 of last year playoffs. He doesn't seem to be rusted at all, scoring 18pts on 7/10 shooting while grabbing 10rbds. He replaced Walton at small forward in the starting lineup and looked great in the first game of what he promised to be an all star season.

Kobe, who's leading tne NBA in scoring with 30,4pts through the first five games, was happy to have Odom back in the lineup: "Lamar's back and that's a step in the right direction. He looked like he was in a great rhythm."

Kobe lead six Lakers players in double figures: Fisher & Ronny both scored 11pts, while Bynum & Mihm both recording a double double with 10pts & 10rbds.

Los Angeles won for the third time in four game and will take some rest before playing two wild games in San Antonio & Houston next week.
