After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks demolished the Lakers 122-99. The breakneck pace played right into Hawks' hands. Fresh off a statement win, the Hawks stayed locked in; Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
