James has a knee injury, is currently missing three games, the Lakers have been seriously affected, the performance during this period is not ideal, has suffered three consecutive losses, Davis and Westbrook can not help the team win, the Big Three is missing one, this is not the result we are looking forward to.
The Hawks were the dark horse of last season, but the excellent form did not continue to this season, currently ranked tenth in the East, is working hard for the playoffs, and the Lakers are the favorite to win the championship, the team has many long-established superstars, these players have only one goal, that is, to win the championship, the result is backfire, the Lakers this season's performance is average, win less and lose more, failed to enter the top eight in the West. Today, the two teams met, and they gave us a wonderful confrontation, and finally the young and impactful Hawks laughed to the end.
The Lakers are in a bad state and desperate for a win, with davis, Westbrook, Munch, Bradley and Johnson on the bench, with Anthony, Tucker, Reeves, Howard and Bazemore on the bench. The Hawks had a bad start to the season, but as the season progressed, they found a way to win, and they were in the middle of a winning streak, with an unstoppable trend, with the starting players they sent out in this game: Trae Young, Collins, Hunter, Capela and Hult.
The Lakers are dominated by experienced players, mature and sophisticated, while the Eagles' starting players are all within thirty years of age, of which the oldest player is Capela, who is only twenty-seven years old. The Lakers are only racing against the clock, the Hawks are preparing for the future, they are a very different team, playing for different purposes.
Both sides went into offense in the first quarter, scoring more than thirty points in this quarter, with the Hawks leading by one point. In the second quarter, the Lakers' offensive momentum did not decrease, scoring nearly forty points in a single quarter, while the Eagles were slightly hindered on the offensive end, and the score did not reach thirty points, and after the end of the first half, the Lakers completed the counterattack, scoring nine more points than the Eagles. In the third quarter, the two teams were evenly matched in attack, and the score difference was only one point, but this was not enough to narrow the point difference, and the Lakers' advantage finally came to double digits. The final quarter became the Eagles' offensive performance time, scoring thirty-eight points in just one quarter, and finally the Eagles reversed in the fourth quarter and defeated the Lakers.
The Hawks beat the Lakers 129-121, and there were a total of 9 draws in this game, the Eagles led by 8 points at most, the Lakers led by 11 points at most, and the point difference after the game was 8 points.
Lakers player stats: Davis had 27 points, five rebounds and four assists on 10-of-20 shooting; Westbrook had 20 points, seven rebounds and 12 assists on 8-of-15 shooting; Munch had 33 points, 10 rebounds and five assists on 12-of-19 shooting; Andthony had 11 points and four rebounds on 5-of-11 shooting.

After the game, Davis was interviewed by the media, he said that he could not accept the result of the loss, originally thought it was a winning opponent, and as a result, he missed too much, and finally was reversed by the Hawks. Although the Eagles are not ranked high, they have a number of potential young players who have won seven consecutive games, so it is not an accident to beat the Lakers, but a manifestation of strength.
