After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Hawks rolled past the Lakers 133-102. The breakneck pace played right into Hawks' hands. Hawks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
