After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks snuck past the Lakers 118-114. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
