The Lakers played a great game on offense, but they let the Wizards hit 50.6% of their shots and that did them in.

Luke Walton had a great all-around game with 15 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists. Andrew Bynum had a solid game off the bench with 14 points and 5 rebounds. Jordan Farmar scored 13 points and dished out 4 assists off the bench.

Lamar Odom had to leave last night’s game after only 3 minutes. He has a moderate MCL sprain to his right knee and will be out at least 1 month. This is a tough blow to the Lakers as Odom does everything well for the Lakers. Odom is averaging 17.5 points, 8.7 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game. Someone will have to step up to replace him or the Lakers will be in trouble.
