The Los Angeles Lakers kept it close the entire way through, but ultimately suffered their third straight loss on Friday night against the Atlanta Hawks and are now 2-7 in their last nine contests. After imploring his team to take accountability with two embarrassing losses, head coach JJ Redick saw a different and more competitive team.

However, the red-hot Hawks were simply too much for the Lakers down the stretch, beating them with late-game execution to grab the win in overtime, their sixth victory in a row. LeBron James and Anthony Davis were both phenomenal in the loss, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Trae Young and the Hawks’ clutch shot-making.
