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.
