After Action Report

The Lakers buried the Hawks 122-101. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
