The Lakers cruised to victory against the Atlanta Hawks, 130-114, despite only having nine of their core players available. But with a combination of G-Leaguers, two-way players, and a 10-day contract addition, they were still able to absolutely dominate an Atlanta team that appears to have hit rock bottom and continued to dig.
The game was never close, and the Lakers never trailed, leading by as many as 26 points. With this victory, L.A. improves to 18-21 and has now won four games in a row, which is good for their longest winning streak of the season.
