Beantown Beatdown

It's gotta be the throwbacks! Strangely, they wore their 1971-72 home throwbacks on the road, and still won.

Five Lakers scored in double-figures lead by Kobe's 23.

Ray Allen passed Reggie Miller for most career three-pointers made.

On to take a bite out of the Big Apple tomorrow night.

One other hoops note... Utah head coach Jerry Sloan retired today after 23 seasons.

Odom Suspended

Forgot to mention this one: Lamar has been handed a one-game ban by the league for essentially tackling the C's Ray Allen into the stands late in the game on Sunday night. He was given a flagrant foul on the play, but wasn't ejected. Odom will sit out Friday night's Philly contest and return Sunday night against Indy...
