After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks fended off the Lakers 112-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hawks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
