Blake's back

Steve Blake was cleared to resume practicing with the Lakers today after a doctor determined he was no longer contagious after he bout with chicken pox. Blake made it through the film session and on-court workout, but was a little fatigued and had to sit out now and then. "I felt a lot better than I thought I would after lying in the bed for seven days," he said. "I got a little tired ... but for the most part I felt pretty good." He said he has no idea how he got it. "it's not like I went up to someone and shook hands with someone who had spots all over him," he said. He also said he hoped to play in Game 2 on Wednesday.
