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.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
