NBA: LA Lakers 132, Phoenix 106

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 27 (UPI) -- Lamar Odom led six players in double figures Thursday night and the Los Angeles Lakers hit 57 percent of their shots to crush Phoenix 132-106.

Already playing without Amare Stoudemire, the Suns also missed point guard Steve Nash Thursday due to an ankle injury.

The Lakers took advantage by jumping to a 13-point lead after one quarter and Phoenix never threatened to get back in the game. Los Angeles won its sixth straight and has captured 17 of its last 19 games.

Odom scored 23 points and Kobe Bryant had 22 while playing only 27 minutes. Pau Gasol contributed 16.

Phoenix, which had won four of its previous five games, got 18 points each from Leandro Barbosa and Alando Tucker.
