After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Lakers rolled past the Hawks 109-87. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hawks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Hawks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
