After Action Report
In a track meet, the Lakers blew the doors off the Hawks 118-91. Lakers torched the Hawks on the offensive end. Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
