After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Hawks outlasted the Lakers 102-88. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
