The Atlanta Hawks suffered a lopsided defeat on Friday evening and, given the way the schedule breaks in the near future, that wasn’t an ideal result. However, the team will have the opportunity to right the ship on Sunday evening, albeit in very interesting circumstances.
Trae Young and company will be in Los Angeles to take on the Lakers in the first game of a four-game road trip. As you may expect, the Hawks are seen as significant underdogs in this spot, as LeBron James now operates as the centerpiece of one of the league’s marquee franchises.
