Lakers end perfect trip with impressive wins @Boston and @Cleveland

Kobe Bryant scored 26 points with 10 rebounds to help the Lakers snapping Boston’s 12 game winning streak.
Playing at Boston for the 1st time since last year's blowout - L.A lost game 6 of the finals by 39- the Lakers showed lots of emotion and proved they can be as physical as the Celtics.

Already alting Boston's 19-game winning streak on Christmas Day,  the Lakers  won 110-109 in OT and now own the tie breaker if the two teams meet in finals. P.Gasol scored 24pts & grabbed 14rbds. Odom had 18 of his 20pts in the 2nd half.


Kobe scored MSG record 61pts on Monday. 48 hours later, Lebron James responded with a huge 52pts 9rbds 11asts. In a much anticipated matchup, the two MVP front runners met @Cleveland on Sunday. But the game never materialized into a Bryant vs James affair as Odom stole the spotlight.

Playing as a starter since Bynum's injury, LO had one of his best games with the team posting season bests 28pts & 17rbds. Picking up the offensive slack with Kobe suffering from the flu, Odom had 15pts & 10rbds in the 3rd quarter alone to help his team turning a 12pt deficit into a 5pt lead.
The Lakers snaped Cleveland's 23-0 home record with a 101-91 victory and held Lebron James to 16pts on 5/20 shooting. After beating the Celtics twice this year, L.A now owns the tie breaker vs the Cavs too.
Kobe scored 19pts but made a high arching fadeway shot over Lebron to make it 95-89 with 2minutes remaining.
