[VIDEO] Odom & Bynum Get Ejected as Mavericks Sweep Lakers

I usually don't root for any sports team from the Dallas area, but I have to confess I was rooting for the Mavericks to sweep the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Western Conference Semifinals. Actually, I was rooting more against the Lakers, especially after Lamar Odom elbowed Dirk Nowitzki and then Andrew Bynum took a cheap shot on J.J. Barea. Both Odom and Bynum were ejected for the flagrant fouls.

In the end, Mavericks won, 122-86, meaning that Lakers Coach Phil Jackson may be retiring after experiencing one of the most lopsided playoff losses of his career.

Now here's video of the fouls:
