After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Hawks 105-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
