ATLANTA -- The Los Angeles Lakers played an Atlanta Hawks team Tuesday that entered the night eight games under .500, having dropped four of its last five games.

And L.A. proceeded to allow 125 points or more for the fifth straight game en route to a 138-122 defeat

The Lakers had won four of six entering their current six-game road trip, which started with a spirited double-overtime win over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night. They've gone 0-2 since, losing both ends of a back-to-back, first against the Houston Rockets on Monday in a game they trailed by 30 and then against the Hawks on Tuesday when they trailed by 20.
