After Action Report
The Lakers fended off the Hawks 107-99. Lakers torched the Hawks on the offensive end. Shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
