After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks held off the Lakers 108-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks steamroller is in full effect right now. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
