Jackson wants better sustained effort from Lakers
Basketball Betting Lines
04/19/2010 - LOS ANGELES (AP) -Phil Jackson wants a better sustained effort from the Lakers against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He got it for one quarter in the playoff opener, then watched the defending champions lose energy the rest of the way. The Lakers won 87-79 Sunday mostly on the strength of their dominating first quarter, in which 7-footers Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum scored and rebounded with abandon. Although never losing the lead, the Lakers didn't win another quarter and the Thunder got within six points with 3 1/2 minutes remaining. Kobe Bryant says he shares Jackson's concern, but he's convinced his team will do better Tuesday night in Game 2. Bryant practiced limited minutes on Monday as he copes with injuries to his finger, knee and ankle.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
