After Action Report
The Hawks handled the Lakers 116-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' stars took over and bent the game to their will; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
