The Atlanta Hawks emerged victorious against the Los Angeles Lakers in a thrilling overtime battle. Trae Young, the Hawks’ star guard, played a crucial role by passing more and setting up his teammates. In the final seconds of overtime, Young drew the Lakers’ defense and passed to De’Andre Hunter, who found Young open for the game-winning shot.
The Hawks’ bench also played a significant role, with Hunter scoring 26 points and Bogdan Bogdanovic adding 20.
Despite the loss, the Lakers showed improvement compared to their recent performances. LeBron James led the team with 39 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists, while Anthony Davis contributed 38 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists.
If the Lakers can maintain this level of energy in their upcoming game against Portland, they have a good chance of ending their losing streak.
