The Los Angeles Lakers closed out the Atlanta Hawks in the final minutes, finishing their road trip with a respectable 5-2 record.
The Lakers took a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter and appeared to have all the momentum, but the Hawks responded with an 8-0 run. However, the defense picked up several notches and a LeBron James 3-pointer gave Los Angeles the push it needed to secure the victory.
The Lakers got back to dominating the interior as 54 of their 107 points came in the painted area. Anthony Davis was a large part of that as he routinely bullied the Hawks frontcourt to the tune of 25 points.
