After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Lakers buried the Hawks 117-93. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.

- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
