After Action Report

The Hawks ran roughshod over the Lakers 110-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
