Anytime the Atlanta Hawks tried to make a game out of it, LeBron James made sure that wasn’t a possibility.
The Los Angeles Lakers jumped out to a 30-6 lead to start and the Hawks never got within single digits as they cruised to a 122-101 win. The victory was the team’s fourth straight and improved their record to 11-2, the best in the NBA.
James continued his MVP caliber play with 33 points, 12 assists, and seven rebounds. He was lights out from beyond the arc as well, knocking down 6-of-10 from deep.
The Lakers also got a huge boost from their bench which continues to improve.
