When it was all said and done, Jordan Farmar, Lamar Odom, and the Los Angeles Lakers had put together a performance for ages in a blowout victory. On Jan. 3, 2010, the Lakers arrived at Staples Center ready to state their dominance over the NBA.
Already coming off of the 2008-09 championship, they prepared for a showdown against the Dallas Mavericks, who were second place in the Western Conference at the time. Lakers head coach Phil Jackson saw his entire roster come to play, with a balanced effort that propelled the dominant victory.
The first quarter was a sign of things to come, as Los Angeles broke out a 30-13 lead over the Mavericks.
