After Action Report

The Lakers blew the doors off the Hawks 123-103. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
