What a dunk by Onyeka Okongwu to convert that alley-oop. He’s been awesome as part of Atlanta’s comeback here in the fourth quarter, and Nate McMillan is playing him over Clint Capela down the stretch. – 3:14 PM

Among the many reasons LeBron is missed, with AD often getting pulled out high on pick and rolls, there’s absolutely no backline at all for the Lakers. LeBron being the next biggest guy who actually matters could help offset this schematically. AK – 3:12 PM

Back to back buckets for Atlanta after Westbrook dribbled himself into trouble, resulting in a turnover, then Bradley missing a layup diving to bail out Russ. Gotta be more precise with his intentions. AK – 1:30 PM

Two Trae Young buckets in a row and the Hawks have cut the Lakers’ lead to 24-23.
Young has 4 assists and 4 points.
Right behind him in assists is Clint Capela, who has 3 for the Hawks (to go with five points and three rebounds). – 1:29 PM

John Collins is really good, my favorite part in watching him is his ability to relocate off-ball finding open spots. He has done that so well this afternoon, even being missed a few times. The reported asking price can not be right, he has so much more value. – 1:26 PM

Malik Monk’s off to a strong start on offense, scoring 8 points on 3 of 3 FG’s, plus 3 boards and 2 assists, including a drop off for AD’s 5th FG as LAL go up 24-18.
Lakers are 10 for 13 (76.9%), though ATL’s getting a number of really good looks as well. – 1:26 PM

Lakers open up shooting 80% from the field (8-10 FG) and are 2-2 from 3.
Little to no resistance from the Hawks so far.
But, they’re shooting 63.6% themselves (7-11 FG) and John Collins has been active (8 points in 5 minutes).
Lakers have a 19-15 lead, 6:41 1Q – 1:21 PM
