After Action Report
The Lakers handled the Hawks 113-95. Lakers torched the Hawks on the offensive end. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
