Another gut it out victory. 5-2 road trip considering that we beat 2 out of 3 eastern contenders is a successful road trip in my book.

On another thought, that boy Trae is gonna be a problem in this league for a long time

Lakers win 107-99. Hawks closed within 2, and then 1, with under 3 minutes, but after AC was reinserted...good things happened.

Solid D the last minute or so, and timely offense when it looked like it could have been a repeat of the Boston game.

Yeah, too bad we couldn’t pull out the Philly game.

One of the biggest issues I see why the other teams keep making these runs against us at the end of games...We take outside jumpers, and they go to the rim, and get layups/dunks. Needs to be corrected.

While Lebron played 38 minutes, he rarely went to the rim and for much of the game he'd just dump the ball and sag off Harden style behind the arc.

Those weren't really taxing minutes

Definitely happy with a 5-2 trip, almost stole one at Philly. And Detroit, one that we should have won lol..

Didn't watch the game, how did Anthony end up with just 1 rebound?

Relax is not that serious if you understand his regular season in game managing...

In all fairness, I actually think both the Hawks and possibly the Cavs will be "annoying" playoff teams that you dont want to play. Cavs size makes them intriguing, combined with guys like Sexton and Garland. Hawks look pretty compelling as well. Not championship caliber, but as in "do we really have to play a 7 game series vs those guys? eesh, we gonna have to actually play" types.

Ugly game. Had it sealed, almost gave it away, then needed two steals to seal it.

What is wrong with Vogel and his distribution of AC's minutes? Stop being an idiot, Frank.

He has done better at playing AC in the 4th. He seems to be finally coming around to playing him more. AC was in foul trouble some

The Lakers are continuing this recent trend of not putting teams away, late. Their inability to execute cleanly, down the stretch, is galling. I keep hearing the "they're just taking it easy", and "the games are practice", too much. You want positives to build on, as the season goes on, and into the post season. Not negatives you continue to ignore, until it bites you.

It really has become obvious this guy impacts winning games.

His sprint back and fight on D after the late steal in Boston saved that game and he does that type of stuff every night.

Alex Caruso is becoming a legendary role player.

His overall game leads to winning basketball.

Cant blame Vogel as AC picked up his 5th foul with Lakers only up by 4pts... Lead actually grew to 10 with AC on the bench... Lakers made a couple of dumb fouls and missed their next 4 shots.

The Lebron, Trez, Ac, THT, Kuz lineup to start the 3rd is what we gained from this game.
