Five months apart, the Los Angeles Lakers have consecutive victories in Phoenix. The first sent the Lakers to the NBA Finals and an eventual championship. This one gave Phil Jackson his 1,100th victory, something only four other coaches have accomplished. "It's just a number," he said, "but it's kind of overwhelming how many it is." The Lakers spoiled the Suns' home opener 114-106 on Friday night behind Lamar Odom's 18 points and 17 rebounds in a rematch of last season's Western Conference finalists. Kobe Bryant scored 25 points and Pau Gasol had 21 in the Lakers' eighth victory over Phoenix in their past 10 meetings. No coach has reached 1,100 victories faster than Jackson, who did it in 1,560 games, winning 11 championships along the way, with some help from Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal and Bryant, among others.
