After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers squeaked past the Hawks 109-107. The better team simply showed up tonight. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Lakers' 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.
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
