After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks outlasted the Lakers 125-119. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
