After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Lakers fended off the Hawks 124-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
