After Action Report
The Hawks edged the Lakers 117-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed.

- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
