After Action Report
The Hawks took care of the Lakers 118-103. Hawks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Fresh off a statement win, the Hawks stayed locked in; Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
