After Action Report
The Hawks rolled past the Lakers 120-98. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
