Young, Hawks prevail over Lakers in overtime for sixth straight win

The Atlanta Hawks secured on overtime victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night, 134-132, to notch their sixth consecutive victory.

Trae Young led the Hawks with 31 points and 20 assists, while De’Andre Hunter added 26 points off the bench. For the Lakers, LeBron James posted a triple-double of 39 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, and Anthony Davis added 38 points.

It was an enthralling encounter at State Farm Arena, with both sides very evenly matched throughout the entire contest. The only exception was the Lakers initially were able to establish a double-digit lead in the third quarter after Jalen Johnson picked up two quick fouls to begin the third quarter (his fourth on the game).
