The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Atlanta Hawks 130-114 for their first four-game winning streak in just under a year.
Los Angeles Lakers' Thomas Bryant and LeBron James celebrate after Bryant scored a basket and drew a foul during the first half of the team's NBA basketball game against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday, Jan. 6, 2023, in Los Angeles.
The Lakers jumped to a 26-point lead in the first half of the rematch and hung on comfortably for their fifth win in six games overall. They hadn't won four straight since Jan. 7, 2022, when they also beat Atlanta in Los Angeles.Trae Young scored 21 of his 32 points in the second half for the Hawks, who have lost five of six. Unable to overcome a dismal first half, Atlanta has lost two of three on its four-game California road trip.
Reaves and Walker, who has left knee tendinitis, are both out for at least two more weeks, depriving the Lakers of two key rotational players as they attempt to keep up their overall solid play since a 2-10 start to coach Darvin Ham's first season. Los Angeles used its 21st starting lineup of the 39-game season against Atlanta.
