Daily Dunk: Lamar Odom

This is not the most spectacular, nasty, or vicious dunk of the weekend but it's a dunk that tells the story of the third quarter and really of the entire game between the Cavs and the Lakers on Sunday.

The key to the Lakers victory was the outstanding play from Lamar Odom. He dominated the third quarter and basically put the Cavs Hickson (forgot his first name, I think he's a second year player) back in grade school the entire quarter. On this putback dunk to end the quarter, Hickson goes up for the rebound real soft like a little girl with one hand and L.O. snatches it and flushes it for the final score of the quarter.

The third quarter was the turning point in the game and the Lakers ended up closing out in the fourth.
