The Los Angeles Lakers finished their seven-game road trip with a win against Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks.
At 10-9, the Hawks look the part of a fringe playoff team in the Eastern Conference, but with enough talent that they couldn’t be taken lightly. Lakers head coach Frank Vogel showed this in his gameplan, again sticking with a nine-man rotation.
Meanwhile, Anthony Davis put up one of his most efficient games of the season. His production helped negate Young’s 25 points and 16 assists.
“He’s a crafty player. He’s very good at drawing fouls, can shoot the basketball with range, great free throw shooter, he’s got a nice floater when he gets in the paint,” Davis said of Young.
