Kobe Passes and Lakers Win

The Los Angeles Lakers didn't even need Kobe Bryant or Lamar Odom to play in the fourth quarter to beat the woeful Toronto Raptors.

Odom scored 19 points, and Los Angeles beat Toronto 102-91 Wednesday night despite Bryant's lowest-scoring game of the season.

Bryant sat out the fourth quarter and finished with 11 points for the Lakers, who put the game out of reach by outscoring Toronto 31-18 in the third quarter.

"It was really good for us to be able to rest," said Bryant, whose team opened a six-game road trip the night before.

Luke Walton added a season-high 13 points and six rebounds for the Lakers, who have won a season-high three straight.

Odom said the win will make for an enjoyable off day in Chicago on Thursday.

"We get to have a light practice, lift a little weights, have a steak and relax a little bit," Odom said.

Los Angeles won at Milwaukee on Tuesday night and didn't get to its hotel until 3 a.m. But the Lakers outrebounded Toronto 48-33 and shot 54 percent, compared to 41 for Toronto.
