Lakers Blow Out Hawks, Emphatically Stop 9-Game Skid

So this nightmare is over. We cried. We complained. We couldn’t sleep. We couldn’t eat. We even stopped feeling. What? That was only me? In any case, the Lakers have finally won a game after a nine-game losing streak as they beat the Hawks, 132-113.

It didn’t start out very well. L.A. was once again down early as the Hawks got off to a 10-2 start. And I was nearly resigned to yet another Lakers L.

This didn’t happen. The Lakers realized that the Hawks were 10-28 for a reason. They closed the gap with a couple of three-pointers as we saw a lot of good energy from Los Angeles on both sides.
