L.A., Spurs play tonight
SAN ANTONIO — Lamar Odom had a sleepless night after the Lakers' Game 3 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
Pau Gasol said it's always hard to get shut eye after a tough loss and Derek Fisher said he slept "decent enough."
Los Angeles coach Phil Jackson wasn't surprised.
"I like players to get their rest, there's no doubt," Jackson said Monday. "But any time you have a game of that importance and you don't play well, you're upset. It's bothersome."
Bothered might be an understatement for Odom.
"I got to the point where I couldn't make a shot," said Odom, who went 2-of-11 from the field and finished with seven points on Sunday. "But then I got to the free throw line and I wasn't making free throws. That can't happen."
Odom, who hit just 3-of-8 from the foul line, wasn't alone in his struggles in the 103-84 loss. Fisher scored just two points on 1-of-4 shooting and Gasol fared somewhat better, going 7-of-18 for 15 points.
"A little bit indecisive, not aggressive enough finishing," Gasol said.
The Lakers hold a 2-1 advantage in the Western Conference finals. Game 4 of the best-of-seven series is tonight.
