Andrew Bynum is back in the Lakers' starting lineup, and they hope that means the team's potent offense is, too.

Bynum started for the first time this season when the Lakers sought to snap a three-game losing streak in New Orleans on Wednesday night. He delivered 18 points, and the Lakers won with 103, the first time they'd scored that much since Dec. 19 at Toronto.

The Lakers had scored 120 in Toronto but then fizzled with 79 versus Milwaukee, 80 versus Miami and 82 at San Antonio. They lost all three games, prompting Phil Jackson to move Lamar Odom (24 points Wednesday) to the bench and the offense to take off.
