ATLANTA -- The Los Angeles Lakers wrapped up a brutal four-game road trip Friday by being edged by the surging Atlanta Hawks 134-132 in overtime.

While LeBron James and Anthony Davis were both involved in several late-game miscues that helped the Hawks to the win, James pointed to a big-picture concern that has led to L.A. losing seven of its past nine games, rather than to specific mistakes that occurred down the stretch in Atlanta.

After L.A.'s bench was outscored 65-17 against the Hawks, James said the Lakers' lack of depth is being tested right now.
