A quote the LA Times

Trip starts with a heartbreaker

They again demonstrated an inability to execute in the final seconds, although at least they got off a shot, unlike Sunday's nine-second meltdown against Cleveland.

But this time, after Odom's shot from the right side sailed over the rim, Kobe Bryant turned to the Lakers' bench with his palms raised up and a confused, if not angry, look on his face.

He wanted the shot. It didn't happen. Lakers lose, regardless.

"It's a tough loss," Bryant said. "It felt like we had the game, just didn't complete plays down the stretch. But still, I'm encouraged. If we play this hard, we'll be fine on this trip."
