After Action Report
The Hawks blew the doors off the Lakers 113-87. Hawks torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
