Redick Abruptly Ends Presser as Shorthanded Hawks Rout Lakers 122–102

Despite absences on both sides, Atlanta's ball movement overwhelmed Los Angeles.

Overview

  • Los Angeles trailed almost from the opening minutes and fell behind by as many as 30 before the 122-102 final in Atlanta.
  • JJ Redick's postgame news conference lasted under two minutes with terse, one-sentence replies before he exited.
  • Atlanta sank 16 three-pointers with 37 assists and only 11 turnovers, while the Lakers managed 12 threes, 23 assists and 20 turnovers.
  • The Hawks were without Trae Young, Kristaps Porzingis and multiple other rotation players, as the Lakers missed LeBron James and Austin Reaves.
  • The five-game road trip continues Monday at Charlotte, where Los Angeles looks to respond to its most lopsided loss of the season.
