After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Hawks 106-105. Every possession went the Lakers way. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
