ATLANTA — Russell Westbrook stood in his defensive stance while Trae Young calmly got ready to attack — and that attack was coming faster than the Lakers' could've realized.
Young quickly launched a three-pointer from well behind the three-point line, the ball rattling around the rim before falling through the hoop — a fitting ending for the Lakers' six-game road trip.
The Hawks, despite allowing the Lakers to score at will for most of the game, out-gunned them 129-121, capping the season-long trip with four losses against just two wins (against Orlando and a very undermanned Brooklyn).
