After Action Report

The Hawks outlasted the Lakers 120-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Hawks; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
