After Action Report
In a track meet, the Lakers survived the Hawks 120-115. Lakers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
