Won’t have a ton of time so:

1) Better effort, just couldn’t put the Hawks away. Never really figured out how to close out and stop Hunter. Defense continues to be an issue.
2) Still playing too soft, keep getting out-rebounded and generally outworked. The offense was more of a disaster under Ham who, like Vogel before him, overly relied on LeBron and you can see the Lakers playing generally better on offense. We give it up on the other end way too much.
3) Took better care of the ball, didn’t punish them enough inside. Not too sure why we keep taking shots further and further from the paint. Didn’t over shoot the 3 ball but we’re taking a lot more midrange jumpers and not pounding the defense inside and trying to get to the line.
4) Rui was cooking, he barely was a factor in the 2nd half. This one isn’t on Rui, he’s playing his role, LBJ, Ad and Coach Reddick need to stick with a hot hand. After Rui missed his first shot he never shot it again.
5) At least the road trip is over…back home. For one game before we go back on the road. But there’s a couple days of rest to help our old man get his legs back.

Lakers lose a heartbreaker in overtime to the Hawks, 134-132
