Lakers Get Off To Great Start, Hold Off Feisty Hawks For Fourth Straight Win

The Los Angeles Lakers didn’t fall prey to their slow starts in this one and it led to an easy home win.

Los Angeles started the game on a 26-5 run and were never in danger as they defeated the Atlanta Hawks 122-101 for their fourth straight victory and 11th in 12 contests. LeBron James led the way with another double-double of 33 points and 12 assists while Rajon Rondo was great off the bench with 15 points.

Danny Green was the early catalyst for the Lakers with a pair of three-pointers and a beautiful lob to James to give the Lakers a 14-2 lead early.
