Wake up call answered
After finding themselves in a 27-12 hole, and Bryant and Odom saddled with two fouls, the reserves picked up the defense and thanks to the 3-point shooting of Jordan Farmer -- who was the beneficiary of good ball movement -- crawled back. Vujacic's 3-pointer puts the Lakers ahead, though at 40-39 this still has the feel of one that's going to crunch time.
