Los Angeles Lakers defeated Portland Trail Blazers Tuesday night, October 28th with a 20 point win, 96-76.  2008 MVP Kobe Bryant had twenty-three points, eleven rebounds and five assists. Gasol contributed to fifteen points, Ariza eleven points, Farmar had nine, along with Bynum, had eight points, three rebounds and three blocks. Odom, in his new sixth-man role, had nine points and seven rebounds in only 29 minutes! Unfortunately, Oden injured his right foot early in the game in which we found out today is a mild sprain. A good laugh took place during the game, when Odom passed the ball to Vujacic. What was funny was that fact that Vujacic was on the bench!
