After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Lakers pulled away from the Hawks 125-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
