After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks survived the Lakers 110-109. Hawks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
