Lakers 113 (28-29), Hawks 117 (19-38)
After 23 lead changes, Atlanta took the advantage in the third and managed to hold onto it in the fourth.
Neither team could buy a bucket in the final frame, as even LeBron James appeared to look human at times.
Playing with more poise by the game, Trae Young dropped a team-high 22 points with 14 dimes and 6 boards.
Having lost 8 of their last 11, the Lakers’ playoff hopes are dwindling by the game.

Celtics 112 (36-21), Sixers 109 (36-21)
With Kyrie Irving sidelined with a knee injury, Boston bounced back after getting boo’d off the court in an embarrassing loss on Saturday.
Gordon Hayward came off the bench to score a game-high 26 points (on 11 shots). Jayson Tatum stepped up in Kyrie’s absence, dropping 20 points with 10 boards, 2 steals, 2 blocks and a crazy poster dunk on Ben Simmons.
Joel Embiid (23 and 14) called out the refs after the game, telling the media, “The referees fucking sucked.” A fine will be on the way soon.
The Celtics are now 3-0 against the Sixers this season.
