After Action Report
The Lakers edged the Hawks 125-119 in overtime. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
