Lakers match last season's win total in 21 fewer games

ATLANTA -- Brandon Ingram used his elastic-like arms in a variety of ways to score repeatedly and do something that only Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal and Pau Gasol have done as Los Angeles Lakers.

Julius Randle continued to flex and bully his way in the paint, Isaiah Thomas smiled after scoring on a nifty underhanded rainbow teardrop and Lonzo Ball couldn't miss -- while also receiving a high-five from one of his favorite rappers, Quavo, after drilling a 3-pointer.

Although they were sloppy, committing 23 turnovers and 23 personal fouls, the Lakers thoroughly enjoyed themselves in Atlanta and provided yet another reminder of how far they have come, as they matched last season's win total (26 wins) with a 123-104 thrashing of the sinking Hawks.
