After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Hawks 102-98. Every possession went the Lakers way. The Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
