After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers snuck past the Hawks 97-92. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
