After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hawks ran roughshod over the Lakers 117-97. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
