After Action Report
In a track meet, the Lakers outlasted the Hawks 135-116. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
