Odom outscored Dirk 9 to 5 in that 4th.

In the other Lakers win, Dirk scored 6 points in the final 3:10 and 25 points for the game - Dirk's bad pass down the stretch had nothing to do with Lamar Odom.
Have fun betting against 4th Quarter Dirk!

Odom wasn't in the game for those 6 points (maybe he was in for 2 points, I don't remember 100%). But I do know that was Gasol defending him for at least 4 points.
In any case, 6 points and 5 points for Dirk in the 4th quarter would be great for the Lakers.
I don't think ~5 points in the 4th for Dirk will be sufficient for the Mavs to pull out a close game.
