The Los Angeles Lakers may have won five out of their last six games, but it came on a Tyson Chandler game-winning block against the third-worst team in the NBA.
While the Lakers were playing the Atlanta Hawks on the second night of a back-to-back situation, it does not excuse the team’s 23 turnovers. As the Lakers showed better effort in the second half, they could not close out the game, which has been a problematic theme to begin the 2018-19 NBA season.
With the Lakers still learning how to play together, head coach Luke Walton will take the win and believes this is part of the process.
