After Action Report
The Hawks fended off the Lakers 106-100. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
