After Action Report
In a track meet, the Lakers squeaked past the Hawks 130-125. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Lakers. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
