After Action Report
The Hawks outlasted the Lakers 103-91. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
